Justice As Fairness Provides What We Want.

You Might Say That, If Citizens Are Acting For The Right Reasons In A Constitutional Regime, Then Regardless Of Their Comprehensive Doctrines They Want Every Other Citizen To Have Justice. So You Might Say They're All Working Together To Do One Thing, Namely To Make Sure Every Citizen Has Justice. Now That's Not The Only Interest They All Have, But It's The Single Thing They're All Trying To Do. In My Language, They've Striving Toward One Single End, The End Of Justice For All Citizens.

A Comprehensive Doctrine, Either Religious Or Secular, Aspires To Cover All Of Life. I Mean, If It's A Religious Doctrine, It Talks About Our Relation To God And The Universe; It Has An Ordering Of All The Virtues, Not Only Political Virtues But Moral Virtues As Well, Including The Virtues Of Private Life, And The Rest. Now We May Feel Philosophically That It Doesn't Really Cover Everything, But It Aims To Cover Everything, And A Secular Doctrine Does Also.

The Fairest Rules Are Those To Which Everyone Would Agree If They Did Not Know How Much Power They Would Have.

I Have Tried To Set Forth A Theory That Enables Us To Understand And To Assess These Feelings About The Primacy Of Justice. Justice As Fairness Is The Outcome: It Articulates These Opinions And Supports Their General Tendency.

First Of All, Principles Should Be General. That Is, It Must Be Possible To Formulate Them Without Use Of What Would Be Intuitively Recognized As Proper Names, Or Rigged Definite Descriptions.
