%0 Journal Article %T Bienes sociales primarios versus utilidad %A Venezia %A Luciano %J An£¿£¿lisis filos£¿3fico %D 2007 %I Scientific Electronic Library Online %X in the present paper i argue that the specific arguments developed by john rawls to justify the standard of social primary goods do not succeed. in the first place i develop and criticize the rawlsian arguments grounded in antidiscriminatory intuitions and the fact of reasonable pluralism. i also characterize and criticize rawls's ideas concerning the scope of the concept of fairness as well as his argument concerning extensive tastes and responsibility for ends. i believe that they do not justify a resourcist distribuendum. on the contrary, i argue that such considerations support a welfarist standard. the reason is that a welfarist standard successfully deals with the difficulties rawls mentions in favoring the resourcist standard of social primary goods. %K "justice as fairness" %K social primary goods %K utility %K reasonable pluralism %K fairness. %U http://www.scielo.org.ar/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S1851-96362007000200005&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
