Samuel Freeman was a student of the influential philosopher John Rawls. He has edited numerous books dedicated to Rawls's work and is arguably Rawls's foremost interpreter.

Why Read This Book

Not only is Freeman a leading authority on Rawls, but he is an excellent thinker in his own right, and these articles will be useful to a wide range of scholars interested in Rawls and the expanse of his influence.
