Re: Non-AC Political Philosophy: Who Has Read John Rawls?
[ QUOTE ]
Moorobot has made quite a few posts about him, and from what I know I think I'd have to agree with that college professor (I actually think that rule holds true for most philosophers [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img])I don't think I'd be able to handle an entire book of his.

I think Marx is the undisputed king of political philosophers who are discussed but whose works are rarely read in their entirety. I mean, who in the hell has really read Das Kapital? Rawls is probably a close second, though, especially since the veil of ignorance is pretty simple to explain.
