Book Review:
William Powers, On the Priority of Justice, 63 Texas L. Rev. 1569 (1984) (reviewing Michael J. Sandel’s Liberalism and the Limits of Justice).
 

Abstract:
Michael J. Sandel’s Liberalism and the Limits of Justice is a critique of what Sandel calls “deontological liberalism” – a particular approach to moral and political philosophy associated with John Rawls’ A Theory of Justice. In this book review, William Powers suggests that Sandel’s examination of the deep structure of Rawls’ theory illuminates both Rawls’ argument specifically and the nature of moral argument generally. Powers concludes “both proponents and critics of deontological liberalism will be enriched by careful attention to Sandel’s impressive work.”
