- See Ruth Abbey, ed., Feminist Interpretations of John Rawls (University Park: Pennsylvania
State University Press, 2013), both for the collected essays and for Abbey’s very useful
chronological overview of the feminist literature on Rawls.
- Norman Daniels, ed., Reading Rawls: Critical Studies on Rawls’ A Theory of Justice
(Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press, 1989; orig. ed. 1975), with a new preface.
- Hardy Jones, “A Rawlsian Discussion of Discrimination,” in H. Gene Blocker
and Elizabeth H. Smith, eds., John Rawls’s Theory of Social Justice: An Introduction
(Athens: Ohio State University Press, 1980). In the original journal appearance of this
chapter, I had said, falsely, that there was no discussion of race in this book. I was—
sloppily— relying on my unreliable memory of a book I had read twenty- five years
before rather than re- checking it. My apologies to readers of the original article, to the
editors, and to Jones himself, especially since Jones’s essay turns out to be not merely
the most extensive treatment of the issue in these ten books, but the only extensive treat-
ment of the issue in these ten books. (Needless to say, my overall point is unaffected.)
Jones concludes that “compensatory treatment in the form of preferential hiring, for
example, is surely congenial to the Rawlsian conception of equal opportunity. Even
reverse discrimination favoring the somewhat less qualified would seem to be accept-
able” (p. 283).
