![]() ![]() ![]() These are lines written by Konstantin and spoken by Nina as part of the abortive performance of Konstantin's play. All, all, all do I remember, and every life I live again in my own self. In me the consciousness of human beings has merged with the instincts of animals. In me are the souls of Alexander the Great, of Caesar, of Shakespeare, of Napoleon, and of the least of leeches. You might also see in the function of Masha's "costume" a reflection of the play's fascination with acting and theater. Masha's sardonic, indifferent reply focuses on her own unrequited passion for Konstantin. Medvedenko's fascination with Masha's clothes point clearly to his love for her, which he declares later in the same scene. These opening lines to the play establish several of its key concerns. ![]()

He assumes Rawls is opposed to any inequalities when the purpose of the second principle is precisely to explain how inequalities can be justified. He misses the point of the heuristic of the original position. He makes two grievous errors: (1) he entirely ignores the first principle, which results in his failure to realize that fundamental individual rights and liberties are prior to the second principle (2) he reads the second principle as "maximizing the share of the least advantaged" instead of "once fair equality of opportunity is ensured, remaining inequalities should function as part of a scheme that benefits everyone, where benefiting everyone is measured by the most demanding standard of benefiting the least advantaged." He also makes a number of other errors that are just as fatal to his argument, for instance, reading Rawls as presenting a "patterned" theory rather than a theory of pure procedural justice. ![]() Nozick so fundamentally misreads Rawls that the majority of this book is worthless as a result. ![]() |
