<em>The Tanner Lectures on Human Values III/Liberalism and the Limits of Justice</em> (Book).

This article appraises the books &quot;The Tanner Lectures on Human Values III,&quot; edited by S. McMurrin; and &quot;Liberalism and the Limits of Justice,&quot; by M.J. Sandel. The first book will be of interest to political theorists mainly for the long paper by John Rawls on &quot;The Basic Liberties and Their Priority&quot; which opens the book. This belongs to an overlapping series of papers in which Rawls has been attempting to revise certain aspects of &quot;A Theory of Justice&quot; to meet critical objections. These revisions make it easier to justify the precedence Rawls gives to the familiar list of liberal freedoms in his theory of justice.
