A Theory of Justice (Revised Edition)

Rawls’s work is not a design source, but the revised edition provides a major normative framework for reasoning about fairness, rights and equality of opportunity. Its relevance to Design for EDI is conceptual: it can inform questions about how benefits, burdens and opportunities are distributed through designed systems and policies. The source should therefore be classified through its interdisciplinary origin in political philosophy while identifying social, policy and systemic design as fields in which its concepts may be applied.
