Who said, "Each person possesses an inviolability founded on justice that even the welfare of society as a whole cannot override" ?
Answer: A
The words are John Rawls's.
They come from the opening section of A Theory of Justice (1971), where Rawls rejects utilitarianism: justice denies that the loss of freedom for some is made right by a greater good shared by others. That inviolability of the person is the basis for his priority of liberty.
Robert Nozick shared the stress on individual rights but wrote Anarchy, State, and Utopia in reply to Rawls. Friedrich Hayek defended the market order and Habermas developed discourse ethics; neither wrote this sentence.
