"Justice as Fairness" is a political and ethical framework developed by philosopher John Rawls, primarily articulated in his seminal work, "A Theory of Justice," published in 1971. The concept seeks to provide a foundation for a just society based on principles that individuals would choose if they were in a hypothetical original position behind a "veil of ignorance." This veil obscures their personal characteristics, social status, and individual interests, ensuring that the principles they choose are fair and impartial.
