Authors:

Tarunkumar Duggal, Diptiba Gohil

Abstract:

Justice as a concept has intrigued philosophers of all ages and each philosopher has added to the richness of the concept. At a practical level, the feeling of injustice is one which compels people to resort to all sorts of actions on their part. And it is not easy to come up with a theory that can be termed as the most perfect for a particular society. But many philosophers have given a theory which has remained on paper and was not really a theory which could be implemented on ground. Rawls was one theorist who gave a theory which was quite relevant for the contemporary times and he also managed to give his principles for its implementation on the ground. An attempt has been made in this paper to understand in detail about his theory and the limitations that it has been experiencing as well as the various criticisms of the same.
