Topic: Original position



  
 Original position - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the original position, the representative parties select principles of justice that are to govern the basic structure of society.
Rawls specifies that the parties in the original position are concerned only with citizens' share of what he calls the primary goods, which include basic rights as well as economic and social advantages.
In social contract theory, persons in the state of nature agree on the provisions of a contract that defines the basic rights and duties of citizens in a civil society.

 Original Position
The right-maker for principles, in other words, is their being the output of a particular procedure, in particular the procedure of original position argumentation.
The intuitive idea of justice as fairness is to think of the first principles of justice as themselves the object of an original agreement in a suitably defined initial situation.
It must be shown, then, that the two principles of justice are the solution for the problem of choice presented by the original position.

 20th WCP: Rawlsian Affirmative Action: Compensatory Justice as Seen from the Original Position
Thus, in selecting distributive principles from the original position, one is not allowed to employ considerations the recognition of which would tend to make one partial towards those who share some or all of one's personal characteristics.
Such a remedial measure would, thus, have an unjust downside and therefore be rejected by someone in the original position.
To the objection that the issue of remedial justice belongs to "nonideal" theory (245-6) and is thus not to be settled by appeal to the first and second principles, I would respond that "strict compliance" or "ideal" theory does establish limits to what can be done by way of compensatory policies.

 22:0957(96)AR - Naval Undersea Warfare Engineering Station, Keyport, WA and IAM Local 282 -- 1986 FLRAdec AR
In directing that the grievant be returned to his original position under the direction of his original supervisor, the Arbitrator has not enforced the terms of an applicable negotiated appropriate arrangement of the parties' agreement.
However, the Union maintains that the Arbitrator's direction to return the grievant to his original position, or a suitable alternative, is not contrary to section 7106(a) because it merely constitutes a proper enforcement of an applicable procedure or appropriate arrangement of the parties' collective bargaining agreement.
Although the Arbitrator stated that this remedy was complicated by the apparent abolishment of the grievant's original position in the industrial engineering department, the Arbtrator agreed with the Union.

 Rawls: A Theory of Justice
Accordingly, for the original position that was supposed to settle international justice, the parties represented states, and not individuals.
Rawls thinks that in the case of social justice, the parties in the original position would settle on two principles of justice: one protecting liberties and the other providing for a quite egalitarian distribution of opportunities and material goods.
The big idea of Rawls's theory of justice is that we can decide what is fair and unfair by considering what principles of justice would be chosen by parties in an original position.

 Introduction
The original position is a hypothetical initial situation in which the parties, as representatives of citizens in general, choose the principles of justice that will guide the basic social structure.
I take the original position to be a "device of representation" and the parties in the original position as hypothetical representatives who, behind the veil of ignorance, can come to some decision on the principles of justice that will guide society.
However, unlike actual citizens, the parties in the original position lack certain specific social facts that would bias their decisions on what the best possible principles of justice would be.

 John Rawls "Justice as Fairness"
Rawls addresses this by asserting that the original position is to be used as a representation and that within it the parties will adopt just opinions which can then be carried back from the original position as valid judgements of our social institutions.
Essentially, the original position is a hypothetical state from which we can examine societal institutions from behind a veil of ignorance.
The Original position is the essential ingredient in Rawls' mechanism of evaluating justice.

 The Restoration of Lost Corners (520 to 547)
In the event of extensive obliteration of the original corners within the locality this position may be preferable to one obtained by proportionate measurement carried from a considerable distance.
In these cases the positions of the meander corners on the section boundaries are determined first.
A property corner should exercise a regular control upon the retracement only when it was placed with due regard to the location of the original survey, or agreement is so close as to constitute the best available evidence.

 Amazon.ca: Books: A Theory of Justice: Original Edition
The fair position for choosing these principles is what Rawls calls "the original position." His argument has the following structure: he describes the original position, and then he argues that parties in the original position would choose a particular set of principles of justice.
Rather, people choose principles of justice in a position that is supposed to be fair; their choices in this fair position determine the correct principles of justice.
This claim is curious: as anyone who has actually read the book knows, Rawls imposes all sorts of "unreal" conditions on persons in the "original position" in order to remove the influence of bias and arbitrariness on the selection of principles of justice.

 John Rawls - Encyclopedia of Political Information
In addition to the original position, Rawls relied on the notion of reflective equilibrium, which tests the results obtained from the original position against our considered judgments about particular cases.
Rawls argued that the representative parties in the original postion would select justice as fairness, including the liberty principle and the difference principle, to govern the basic structure of society.
Rawls states that the two principles are lexically ordered, with the liberty principle taking precedence over the difference principle in the case of conflict.

 Legal Theory Lexicon
In constitutional law, formalism is associated with “originalism,” the view that the constitution should be interpreted in accord with its “original meaning.” In statutory interpretation, formalism is associated with the “plain meaning” theory—that statutes should be interpreted so that the words and phrases have their ordinary meaning.
Positive legal theory attempts to explain and predict legal behavior, especially the content of legal rules.
Traditional social contract theory posits a state of nature--in which there is no government--and then asks what would be the content of a social contract--an agreement to enter civil society.

 Rawls Questions
One source of support for the AATP position can be developed from Rawls's discussion of the ideal of fair terms of social cooperation based on reciprocity.
JR, a member of society C. argues that the AATP proposal to amend the First Amendment is objectionable and should be defeated, because it would not be acceptable in a Rawlsian Original Position.
The AATP introduces a proposal to amend the First Amendment to permit the government to suppress anti-tolerant views (i.e., to suppress any view that implies that some views should not be tolerated, except the view that anti-tolerance itself should not be tolerated!).

 Rawls
In a normal original position argument, the parties have no such concerns about unrepresented parties.
How can we abandon the idea of choosing principles for A and B without knowing whether we are A or B? I don't see that Rawls has provided a compelling alternative.
It is not real and there is no contract.

 RAWLS: THE ORIGINAL POSITION
Now Rawls's people in the Original Position are not impartial, they are egoists (at least when choosing principles of justice).
It is preceded by a state in which Rawls, and we, if we want to participate, decide on the features of the so-called Original Position, the features of the situation of choice from which what Rawls calls principles of justice emerge.
In fact there is no contract, no need even to suppose that there is more than one person in the Original Position.

 RAWLS: DECISIONS IN THE ORIGINAL POSITION
Slave and slave owner are positions in society, social roles.
Rawls says that equality of opportunity, even with affirmative action and the like, is not enough for justice: there must also be a justification, in terms of benefit to those who do not win, of the degree of inequality in the positions competed for.
Then it lifts again, to allow information about the legislative and policy questions that need deciding, and in this third stage the people, or their representatives, decide on particular laws and policies.

 Notes 05: Original position (2)
Recall that one of the constraints on the original position is the requirement on the parties to choose a conception of justice to be the public basis of social unity.
Rawls groups the grounds for his conception into three categories: those based on publicity, reciprocity and stability, respectively.
The "second fundamental comparison" in the original position is that between Rawls's two principles and what he calls the "principle of restricted utility," which is constructed from Rawls's principles by removing from them the difference principle and putting in its place the principle of average utility constrained by a social minimum.

 Building Cathedrals
John Rawls contends that individuals in the original position are absolutely equal in all respects and that any decisions, agreements, rules, etc. decided upon would be equally fair to both individuals since neither would have an advantage over the other and would not enter into agreements that would upset this equality.
Thus, the original position establishes the concept of "justice as fairness," ranking the principles adopted as more important than those principles not adopted.
The original position is thought to be the first stages of nature and human contact within that scenario.
