John Rawls / 罗尔斯
John Rawls / 罗尔斯 appears in 100.法律的悖论:谢天谢地,幸好我们还有罗翔 through the Veil Of Ignorance thought experiment. The episode uses Rawls to make legal and social rules answerable to people who do not know whether they will be powerful, weak, blamed, protected, or sacrificed.
Rawls’s role in the source is practical rather than biographical. The hosts use him to challenge social-priority reasoning that can make scapegoating or harsh punishment seem acceptable when the imagined victim is always someone else.
