BOLIVAR ESPINOZA, Gardy Augusto  y  CALOCA OSORIO, Oscar Rogelio. Theory of Justice of Rawls: A mathematics-critic to Amartya Sen's critique of John Rawls. Polis [online]. 2015, vol.14, n.40, pp.239-311. ISSN 0718-6568.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-65682015000100014.

The article is framed on the analysis of Rawls’s Theory of Justice from different perspectives. In this case, it refers to: (1) Amartya Sen's critique of some aspects of the model of Rawls; and (2) the response to these arguments from structuralist metatheory and the mathematics of games. We argue that Sen's position is weakened by changing the initial conditions of Rawls’s model, and the lean mathematical results of the correction proposed by Sen. The result is that the model of Rawls is not bettered by the criticism of Sen and forces to consider it from an ideal normative perspective. In this perspective the math calculation is not discarded, which is essential on redistributive public policies guided from an ethical perspective.
