ABSTRACT

Unlike in the “national community” which is established preconditionally, the constituents of the “selective community” of globalism are trying to live as free and equal members. As members of the so-called “community of non-action” or of “non-doing” they come to acquire social equity and “politicalness” by freely choosing and affirming their own lives. This article uses John Rawls’ political theory to describe the principles by which individuals can determine the conditions of their social cooperation and the political compromises through which they can tolerate social inequalities. Because no society in today’s globalized world can be free from this problem, this article is intended to describe whether Rawls’ theory can offer a methodology to deduce and justify the principles of justice necessary for the community of non-action or non-doing.
