<br/><br/> "This book presents G.A. Cohen's Gifford Lectures, which were delivered at the University of Edinburgh in 1996. Focusing on Marxism and Rawlsian liberalism, Cohen draws a connection between these thought systems and the choices that shape a person's life. In the case of Marxism, the relevant life experience is his own: a communist upbringing in the 1940s in Montreal, which induced a belief in strongly socialist egalitarian doctrine. In the case of Rawlsian liberalism, Cohen looks to people's lives in general. He argues that egalitarian justice is not only, as Rawlsian doctrine teaches, a matter of the rules that define the structure of society, but also a matter of personal attitude."-- Publisher's description.
