“Taking rights seriously”. Ronald Dworkin’s liberal theory of justice
Sylwia Galij-Skarbińska
Abstract
The idea of Ronald Dworkin (1931-2013), the remarkable representative of contemporary philosophy of law, is considered to be one of the most influential and widely discussed among the achievements of modern jurisprudence. It has been a contribution to the developement of many, often polemical works. In his debates Dworkin treated teories of Johan Rawls with full acceptance and recognition, adopting his model of justice as fairness. Justice is the law assigned to any individual person, regardless of status, special features, merits. It is the natural rule to equal attention and respect for the rights by people who bestowed with reason are able to render justice. Dworkin analyzes Rawls’s theory in the chapter VI of his work: “Taking rights seriously” entitled “Justice and law.” It assigns the axiomatic and fundamental value to the right to equal concern and respect.
