In Rawls, Dewey, and Constructivism, Eric Weber examines and critiques
John Rawls' epistemology and the unresolved tension - inherited from
Kant - between Representationalism and Constructivism in Rawls' work.
Weber argues that, despite Rawls' claims to be a constructivist, his
unexplored Kantian influences cause several problems. In particular,
Weber criticises Rawls' failure to explain the origins of conceptions
of justice, his understanding of "persons" and his revival of Social
Contract Theory. Drawing on the work of John Dewey to resolve these
problems, the book argues for a rigorously constructivist approach to
the concept of justice and explores the practical implications of such
an approach for Education.
