Summary The time is ripe for such an effort, as the questions that gather under the labels of modernity, the postmodern, and critical theory now transcend a single discipline. The work of John Rawls on justice in public life has had a generation of influence on scholarship, and this work seems to have a high degree of likelihood of making meaningful statements on these questions in the field.
