Friday, April 8th, 2022 | 1-4pm (EDT)-- Fully Online Workshop
Eligible for 3 CEs for Psychologists and LMHCs.
Description:
The most prominent theorist of political justice, John Rawls invented and defended a form of social contract theory created under “the veil of ignorance.” This would prevent those creating a just society from knowing how their personal circumstances might structure the basic law, or constitution, they would create. A just society would be one in which any resulting inequalities needed to be adjusted so that these would benefit the least advantaged. This workshop will also study the major critiques of Rawls for his failure to take racial and gender differences into account.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this presentation the participant will be able to:
- Describe the veil of ignorance, according to John Rawls.
- Explain the difference principle, according to John Rawls.
- Compare this theory of justice with Kantian and consequentialist ethics.
- Explain the advantages and shortcomings of Rawls’ theory of justice.

The course will take place on Friday, April 8th, 2022. This workshop is presenter-led and is a hybrid experience. This will be conducted synchronously online via Zoom and in person (location TBD) from 1:00 pm-4:00 pm (EDT).
