The original position

Rawls's original position is a thought experiment asking what principles of justice would be fair if you didn't know in advance what identity you'd be born into—your race, class, gender, ability, or any other position of advantage or disadvantage. It cuts through the self-interest that usually clouds our moral thinking by forcing us to imagine fairness from behind a veil of ignorance.
