Reviews

[Conrad · Rating 3 out of 5]

Reader of major philosophers on the concept of justice. It was decent but pretty uninspired, although some of the passages were great, like the Republic, Borges’ The Lottery of Babylon, and a brilliant piece by Rawls. I did not find the introduction tremendously insightful.
