Answer
The Veil of Ignorance is a central concept in John Rawls' theory of justice. It refers to a hypothetical situation in which individuals are making decisions about the principles of justice without knowing their own personal circumstances, social status, or natural talents. This "veil" of ignorance is meant to ensure that principles of justice are chosen fairly and impartially, without being influenced by selfish or biased interests.
