Altruísmo e tolerância em meio ao pluralismo: a proposta de John Rawls em favor de uma sociedade justa

Abstract

For John Rawls, a fair society, at first, is a political community where there is the prevalence of cooperation, sense of justice and citizenship virtues. His theory presents the principles of justice, which will be the basis for a well-organized social basic structure in which each citizen acts with justice and contributes for the maintenance of fair institutions. However, for Robert Nozick a fair State with its citizens is a State that respects the individual behavior. The author says that a State does not have right of force a person more privileged to contribute with a less privileged in order to this has increased his well-being. If you are forced, or by State, or by any person, to contribute to well-being of third party, your rights are violated. Like this, Nozick says that the Minimal State is the most extensive that we can justify. Any other wider violate the citizens’ rights.
