It shows that Rawls's Kantian Constructivism and his method of reflective equilibrium can only establish a priority of moral over non-moral considerations when attempting to resolve political-philosophical disputes." The dissertation goes on to show that once metaphysical considerations are admitted into the debate over the proper theory of justice, a plausible theory of freedom argues for an thoroughgoing egalitarian interpretation of Rawls's principles of justice over a libertarian interpretation.
