Klappentext Consisting of two essays, this work by a Harvard professor offers his thoughts on the idea of a social contract regulating people's behavior toward one another. "The Law of Peoples" is the culmination of more than 50 years of Rawls's reflection on liberalism and on some of the most pressing problems of our times. Zusammenfassung The Law of Peoples extends the idea of a social contract to the Society of Peoples and lays out the principles that should be accepted as the standard for regulating a society's behavior toward another.
