Abstract

This article intends to explore the Liberal thought as it is expressed in Rawls´s and Dworkin´s Political Philosophy. We begin with Dworkin´s critique to the rawlsian concept of “original position” (and with his critique to the contractualism as a whole as well) in order to show how Dworkin establish his own thought in a kind of mitigated contractualism.
