Gert also claims that Rawls requires unanimity because of Rawls's notion of rationality requires it; Gert provides a different account of rationality.F Lengyelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16870219925438756983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-62791247741802294132017-10-02T10:26:50.060-04:002017-10-02T10:26:50.060-04:00Bernard Gert included a critique of Rawls's ve...Bernard Gert included a critique of Rawls's veil of ignorance in <i>Morality: Its Nature and Justification</i>.

Gandalf fought a Balrog in Moria, and both were killed in that battle- so be careful in your fights. On the bright side, Gandalf was sent back to finish his mission in Middle Earth, and the Balrog was just dead. Of course, comparing yourself to Gandalf- one of the wisest and most powerful entities on the side of the Good in Middle Earth- might be further evidence of that arrogance thing you had been talking about :)Jerry Brownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-88870163346211552502017-10-01T19:24:25.117-04:002017-10-01T19:24:25.117-04:00So
