Sažetak
Rawls’ concept of justice as the first virtue of social institutions reveals the importance of contemporary institutions embedded in the basic structure of liberal constitutional democracy as the most relevant generators and distributors of justice. In the context of two central notions of this paper – justice and institutions – one can assert that institutions that are not in compliance with the commonly shared conception (common sense principles) of justice need to be either reformed or abolished. Rawls’ perception of institutions of the basic structure of society within the framework of political liberalism and its goals cannot be detached from his concept of justice as fairness.
