Equidade, teoria ideal, justiça, teoria não-ideal, RawlsResumo
A teoria ideal rawlsiana pretende desempenhar diversos papéis na teoria não-ideal. Neste artigo, distingo entre três desses papéis e indago até que ponto podemos esperar que a teoria ideal seja capaz de realizá-los. Ela serve de baliza que deve guiar a produção de teoria não-ideal no longo prazo. É também suposto que ofereça uma forma de comparar diferentes injustiças e assim dizer-nos quando delas é a pior e, portanto, a que precisa mais urgentemente de uma solução. Por fim, a teoria ideal é a base para um modelo de equidade/justiça que limita o conjunto de medidas moralmente aceitáveis no âmbito da teoria não-ideal. Mostra-se aqui como os dois primeiros papéis – o de servir de baliza e o de [determinação] da urgência [relativa] – são menos plausíveis do que o papel em termos da equidade.
