Nozick's own theory is also full of holes. ![]() He assumes Rawls is opposed to any inequalities when the purpose of the second principle is precisely to explain how inequalities can be justified. He misses the point of the heuristic of the original position. He makes two grievous errors: (1) he entirely ignores the first principle, which results in his failure to realize that fundamental individual rights and liberties are prior to the second principle (2) he reads the second principle as "maximizing the share of the least advantaged" instead of "once fair equality of opportunity is ensured, remaining inequalities should function as part of a scheme that benefits everyone, where benefiting everyone is measured by the most demanding standard of benefiting the least advantaged." He also makes a number of other errors that are just as fatal to his argument, for instance, reading Rawls as presenting a "patterned" theory rather than a theory of pure procedural justice. Nozick so fundamentally misreads Rawls that the majority of this book is worthless as a result. ![]() ![]() James’s novel however remains riddled with uncertainty as Isabel exemplifies qualities of both the proto-feminist movement as well as the acceptance of cultural norms.

This is also coincidentally a subject covered in the book). Reviews posted previously seem to say this book just doesn't read the room, or has a general air of ignorance or privilege and I agree-to a certain extent, where I still think this book is helpful and necessary (not that it needs to be-Biss could certainly write this book for no reason, if only personal fulfillment. ![]() I was equally hesitant and enthusiastic, and the reviews definitely seemed mixed, while the press and publisher information seemed encouraging.
