Abstract

14 On Rawls's own engagement with the trope of the "death of political philosophy", see Bejan, "Rawls's Teaching", 4-6, 13-15. 15 Murad Idris, "Islam, Rawls, and the Disciplinary Limits of Late Twentieth-Century Liberal Philosophy", I Modern Intellectual History i (Dec. 2020): 1-24, https://doi.org/10.1017/S1479244320000499. Although Rawls did not publish this work, it is evidence of how certain events and relations presented themselves as moral questions to which the Rawlsian disciplinary field sought answers and as philosophical problems around which Rawls and his interlocutors developed principled positions. Rawls Today, Rawls represents an entire mode of philosophical inquiry, one that has reshaped segments of American moral political philosophy, political theory, and legal studies programs. In the spring of 1969, two years prior to the publication of I A Theory of Justice i (1971), the American philosopher John Rawls studied just war theory and taught a course devoted partially to the topic.
