Moral Legislation behind a Veil of Ignorance: Cardinal Sforza Pallavicino (1607–67) on the Procedure of Natural Law. Schuessler, R. Journal of the History of Philosophy, 61(2):193 – 213, 2023. Publisher: Johns Hopkins University Press Type: Article
Paper doi abstract bibtex Cardinal Sforza Pallavicino, SJ (1607–67), conceived a procedure for determining natural moral laws by voting under a veil of ignorance. Behind this veil, imagined possible people who are ignorant of their social position, personal characteristics, nation, and the historical period in which they live vote as equals. These possible people are asked to establish a moral law in pursuit of their own and collective happiness, which they are obligated by God to follow. This article discusses Pallavicino’s innovative approach to natural law and examines its reception in Southern Germany and (what is now) Austria. © 2023 Johns Hopkins University Press.
