While the well-documented influence of Immanuel Kant on Rawls is deep and profound, Kantian features and interpretation of justice as fairness do not tell the whole story about that doctrine. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on Rawls's \u003ci\u003eLectures on the History of Moral Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e and his \u003ci\u003eLectures on the History of Political Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e, Bercuson presents the reader with a more nuanced, accurate account of the moral and political philosophy of Rawls in light of these under-appreciated influences. This new, richer image of Rawls's political philosophy shows that Rawls's notion of reasonableness - his notion of the kind and extent of our obligations to those fellows with whom we are engaged in social cooperation - is conspicuously more demanding, and therefore more attractive, than most interpreters and critics assume. Rawls turns to Rousseau and to Hegel, both of whom provide attractive images of engaged citizenship worthy of emulation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten accessibly, and contributing to key contemporary debates of global justice, this book will be read by scholars within the fields of social and political theory, ethics, and philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJeffrey Bercuson\u003c\/strong\u003e is an Instructor of Political Science at the University of Toronto, Mississauga.
