Abstract
Benoit Frydman traces the philosophical trajectory of John Rawls, who passed away in 2002, highlighting the significance of his 'Theory of Justice', which is founded on the veil of ignorance and the principles of equal liberty and difference. The author demonstrates how Rawls, in his later works, integrated value pluralism through an overlapping consensus and attempted to extend his model to the global level in 'The Law of Peoples', thereby establishing Rawls as the greatest post-war political philosopher.

Benoit Frydman retrace l'itinéraire philosophique de John Rawls, décédé en 2002, en soulignant la portée de sa Théorie de la Justice fondée sur le voile de l'ignorance et les principes d'égale liberté et de différence. L'auteur expose comment Rawls, dans ses travaux ultérieurs, a intégré le pluralisme des valeurs par le consensus par recoupement et tenté d'étendre son modèle au niveau mondial dans Le droit des gens, positionnant ainsi Rawls comme le plus grand philosophe politique de l'après-guerre.
