The Original Position
What rules would you choose behind a veil of ignorance?
The setup
The Original Position compresses a large philosophical issue into a small imaginative case so the hidden assumptions become visible.
Why it matters

How to discuss it
Start with the simplest version, name the rule you are using, then test whether that rule survives a nearby variation.
