Rawls' work supports which societal concept?
Inherited status
Survival of the fittest
Justice as fairness
Absolute monarchy
Answer
Justice as fairness, advanced by John Rawls, proposes that principles of justice should be determined through a hypothetical social contract where individuals, behind a "veil of ignorance," agree upon the principles that govern their society. This ensures fairness and equality as individuals are unaware of their social position or personal circumstances, leading to impartial and just decisions.
