Veil of Ignorance- John Rawls
The princilples of Justice are
chosen behind a veil of
Ignorance.
They do not know the particular
political, economic or cultural
characteristics of their own
society nor do they know to which
generation they belong.
According to Rawls, the veil of
ignorance has the effect of
depriving persons in the original
position of the knowledge they
would need to advance their own
special interests.
