Abstract


This text will look at some categories of John Rawls’ political theory emphasizing on those aspects of his thought that can be contrasted with some aspects of classical utilitarian thought. The point of this exercise is to measure how many contemporary thinkers such as Rawls are indebted to classical authors of the XIX century such as Bentham and Mill.
