In this penetrating article, Erin M. Cline chooses an important but often neglected aspect of John Rawls s theory of justice, his view of sense of justice, and brings it into dialogue with the idea of moral sense discussed in the Analects. As the result, there emerges not only a fresh understanding of both Rawls s sense of justice and Confucius moral sense but also a new appreciation of how a sense of justice develops. This article displays Cline s scholarly rigor, philosophical depth, and broad knowledge of both Chinese and Western philosophy. It represents the type of comparative work that Dao promotes.
