Wide ranging and up to date, this is the single most comprehensive treatment of the most influential political philosopher of the 20th century, John Rawls.

An unprecedented survey that reflects the surge of Rawls scholarship since his death, and the lively debates that have emerged from his work
Features an outstanding list of contributors, including senior as well as "next generation" Rawls scholars
Provides careful, textually informed exegesis and well-developed critical commentary across all areas of his work, including non-Rawlsian perspectives
Includes discussion of new material, covering Rawls's work from the newly published undergraduate thesis to the final writings on public reason and the law of peoples
Covers Rawls's moral and political philosophy, his distinctive methodological commitments, and his relationships to the history of moral and political philosophy and to jurisprudence and the social sciences
Includes discussion of his monumental 1971 book, A Theory of Justice, which is often credited as having revitalized political philosophy

Industry Reviews

"This is one of those volumes that every university library should own. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers/faculty." ("Choice," 1 October 2014)"The editors aim to produce "not so much a summary of past scholarly work as a serviceable roadmap for current and future work on Rawls" (1). It is a high ambition which raises high expectations which are, happily, lived up to." - Dialogue"This Companion to Rawls is a rich collection of stimulating and critical essays, which provides us with more than a state of the art volume. The textual interpretations, contextual elucidations and illuminating connections with diverse disciplines invite the reader to explore new paths and perspectives. For students of (political) philosophy the volume will be more than a thorough introduction to the philosophy of Rawls. For well-grounded scholars, who are fully acquainted with Rawls's works, it will open up new insights and subtleties and offer them inspiration for future research. The Companion to Rawls is a welcome contribution to Rawls scholarship, which looks beyond A Theory of Justice and does justice to the versatility and ingenuity of Rawls's works and thoughts" - Dialogue
