ArticlePublisher: 2002Subject(s): Reciprocity | Justice | Rawls | DiversityPolicy & Politics 30, 1, p. 47-59Abstract: The value of reciprocity is often promoted through contemporacy policy making. In constrast, political philosophers, through developing critiques of the Rawlsian conception of justice as reciprocity, have often argued against such a principle forming a bsis for legitimating policies. This article also offers a critique of contemparacy policy making but using a recast form of the Rawlsian justification of reciprocity. The main argument is that the Rawlsian premise of 'sharing' fates is too weak (by itself) to underpin reciprocity. However, reciprocity might be more securely based on the premise of learning from each other's fates, given the diversity of individual experiences
