Features: Regardless of which perspective we take or which standard we use to measure, Rawls is one of the most outstanding thinkers of the 20th century. The key extension of the contemporary relevance of his theory of justice connects him to the fields of Western moral philosophy and political philosophy, which are both "adjacent" yet "barren for a long period." Moreover, with his profound and meticulous theoretical insights, he targets the "primary themes" or "fundamental issues" of modern society, giving his theoretical inquiries a universal contemporary significance.
