Notes

1 John Rawls, A Theory of Justice, 1972.

2 pp. 48 ff.

3 pp. 21–2.

4 p. 587.

5 p. 51.

6 See Feinberg, ‘Justice, Fairness and Rationality’, 81 Yale L. J. 1004, 1018-21 (1972).

7 I have here in mind the famous argument of Brandeis and Warren. See Brandeis & Warren, ‘The Right to Privacy’, 4 Harv. L. Rev. 193 (1890), which is a paradigm of argument in the constructive model. See Chapter 4, pp. 118–19.

8 The famous debate between Professor Wechsler, ‘Toward Neutral Principles in Constitutional Law’, 73 Hart. L. Rev. 1 (1959), and his critics may be illuminated by this distinction. Wechsler proposes a constructive model for constitutional adjudication, while those who favor a more tentative or intuitive approach to constitutional law are following the natural model.

9 See e.g., Hare, ‘Rawls’ Theory of Justice — 1’, 23 Philosophical Quarterly 144 (1973).

10 Rawls draws attention to the distinction, p. 49.

11 W. V. Quine, ‘Two Dogmas of Empiricism’, in From a Logical Point of View 20 (2d ed. rev. 1964).

12 p. 48.

13 p. 581.

14 pp. 580-1.

15 Chapter 30.

16 p. 144 ff.

17 Rawls defines these terms at pp. 24-5 and 30.

18 I do not count, as goals, the goal of respecting rights or enforcing duties. In this and other apparent ways my use of the terms I define is narrower than ordinary language permits.

19 But an ‘intuitionist’ theory, as Rawls uses that term, need not. See p. 34.

20 See Chapter 10.

21 John Mackie presented a forceful form of this argument to an Oxford seminar in the fall of 1972.

22 H. Sidgwick, The Methods of Ethics 489 ff. (7th ed. 1907).

23 Chapter 19.

24 Griswold v. Connecticut, 381 U.S. 479, 507 (1964) (dissenting opinion).

25 See Hart, ‘Rawls on Liberty and Its Priority’, 40 U. Chi. L. Rev. 534 (1973).
