Rezension zu „A Brief Inquiry into the Meaning of Sin and Faith “
What a pleasure to read John Rawls's senior thesis at Princeton, which he submitted in 1942, long before his book A Theory of Justice (1971) established him as America's most respected liberal philosopher of law. Rawls's later writings are as pareve (neutral) as could be--they have no hint of the religious passion and wisdom that permeates his senior thesis. Robert Merrihew Adams has a long accompanying essay reviewing what is the most exciting in Rawls's thesis. Tikkun 20090501 No recent secular moralist has been more influential than John Rawls...[A Brief Inquiry into the Meaning of Sin and Faith] undoubtedly reveals an interesting stage in the development of a highly significant philosopher. -- Anthony Kenny Times Literary Supplement 20090612 Allows us to see how a very intelligent believer, who once considered the priesthood, lost his Christian faith as a young man. -- James Wood New Yorker 20090831 [A] fascinating account of the evolution of his religious convictions. -- R. Bruce Douglass Christian Century 20091117 [A] fascinating account of the evolution of his religiousd convictions. -- R. Bruce Douglass Christian Century 20091117
