Paper Summary:

Justice has been explained by different theorists in different terms. The paper examines the theories of John Rawls and Robert Nozick which differ in key ways. It points out however, that both theories are normative, offering a model of what they each believe justice should be.

From the Paper:

"The major institutions of society to which Rawls refers are pervasive and have profound effects on behavior and the distribution of benefits. These institutions embody deep-seated inequalities that may be inevitable in the basic structure of any society, and any principles of justice must apply to these inequalities (Rawls, A Theory of Justice 7)."
