You have no idea how huge and confusing my textbook is. I don't even think they speak english in there!

Can't you just browse on google?

lol I've tried that, wikipedia, and some other sites. None of them tell me simple answers. The terms are defined in huge essays. I'm just trying to find the basic definition of each...

Philosophy is just mental masturbation. Its really fun, you can do it by yourself, but in the end you haven't accomplished anything.

I remember taking philosophy, but beyond the logical arguments, I don't really remember much of anything.

I'm a PHL major, but I'm still a Sophomore, and haven't studied Rawls.

On the subject of general studying, is your book a Rawls book, or a book covering a subject? If it's a Rawls book, you should find some things in the contents about those subjects. If it's a book that covers a subject, look in the contents for mention of Rawls. Then read the stuff on him.

like i said earlier...the book is confusing. the language they use is english....but not in the same way we use it these days. most of the notes i take were from my professor so he translated most of the stuff.

i guess my question is too hard even for the almighty smash community :'(

I took Philosophy this semester. I dropped it after a few weeks though. Tons of useless thinking, like G4F said. It's interesting, but in the end, no matter what you think, you're wrong, because there is no right.

It's just a big *** loop from hell.

Read the index and find what you are looking for. If you think its hard just give up on life. I will help you give me ten minutes. This from wikipedia; In social psychology reprocity refers to responding to a positive action with another positive reaction, and responding to a negative action with another negative one. (Deon means duty in greek). Deontological ethics or deontology is an approach to ethics that focuses on the rightness or wrongness of actions themselves, as opposed to the rightness or wrongness of the consequences of those actions.

Principles of Justice

(Section 11)

First Principle: Liberty

Each person is to have an equal right to the most extensive total system of equal basic liberties compatible with a similar system of liberty for all.


Second Principle: Wealth

Social and economic inequalities are to be arranged so that they are both:

(a) to the greatest benefit of the least advantaged, consistent with the just savings principle, and

(b) attached to offices and positions open to all under conditions of fair equality of opportunity.

Representative persons: prototypical members of any identifiable group (e.g., women, high school students, citizens of Haiti, etc.).

Efficiency: any re-arrangement in which every representative person gains is more efficient.

Difference principle: in order for any change to be accepted as an improvement, it must help the least advantaged representative person.


Natural Duties and Obligations

* Support just institutions
* Mutual respect
* Mutual aid
* Do no harm
* Do your fair share
* Be faithful (keep your promises)
