Overview
Una obra imprescindible para comprender el pensamiento y la obra de John Rawls, uno de los filósofos políticos más importantes del siglo xx.
Imagina que estás diseñando una sociedad. No sabes quién serás en ella: rico o pobre, hombre o mujer, gay o hetero. ¿Cómo te gustaría que fuera esa sociedad?
John Rawls, el filósofo político más importante del siglo xx, propuso este revolucionario experimento mental. Hoy, en Libres e Iguales, el economista y filósofo Daniel Chandler nos propone una estimulante y ambiciosa intervención en la que nos invita a redescubrir a Rawls para encontrar una salida a las crecientes crisis que están devastando nuestro mundo.
A partir del liberalismo humano e igualitario de Rawls, Chandler formula un minucioso e irresistible argumento a favor de una agenda progresista que redefinirá fundamentalmente nuestro mundo, para mejorarlo. El autor nos demuestra cómo podemos proteger la libertad de expresión y superar las guerras culturales, eliminar el dinero de la política y crear una economía en la que todo el mundo tenga la oportunidad de alcanzar su potencial, en la que la prosperidad sea ampliamente compartida y que opere dentro de los límites de nuestro planeta finito.
Libres e iguales desborda esperanza y posibilidades: es una alentadora alternativa al cinismo que impregna nuestra política y que no solo tiene el potencial de transformar el debate contemporáneo, sino también de convertirse en un referente para un liberalismo moderno e igualitario. Esta obra fortalece el lugar de Rawls en el discurso político y consolida firmemente a Chandler como una nueva voz esencial para nuestro tiempo.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
An essential work to understand the thought and legacy of John Rawls, one of the most important political philosophers of the twentieth century.
Imagine you are designing a society. You don’t know who you’ll be in it: rich or poor, man or woman, gay or straight. What kind of society would you want?
John Rawls, the most influential political philosopher of the twentieth century, proposed this revolutionary thought experiment. Today, in Libres e Iguales, economist and philosopher Daniel Chandler offers a stimulating and ambitious intervention, inviting us to rediscover Rawls in order to find a way out of the growing crises devastating our world.
Building on Rawls’s humane and egalitarian liberalism, Chandler presents a detailed and compelling argument for a progressive agenda that will fundamentally redefine and improve our world. He shows how we can protect freedom of expression and overcome culture wars, remove money from politics, and create an economy where everyone has the opportunity to reach their potential, where prosperity is widely shared, and where it operates within the limits of our finite planet.
Free and Equal overflows with hope and possibility: it is an encouraging alternative to the cynicism that permeates politics today, with the potential not only to transform contemporary debate but also to become a landmark for a modern, egalitarian liberalism. This work strengthens Rawls’s place in political discourse and firmly establishes Chandler as a vital new voice for our time.
