In particular, the work focuses on the transformation from individual to person within the community. The community is essential so that, in the individual, the maturation that leads him to become a person can take place. At the same time, persons are crucial so that the community does not disintegrate, but rather becomes a system of cooperation. The circularity of the connection between individuals, persons and community is, therefore, one of the central elements of this inquiry. In the conclusion of the work, this is put in relation with key concepts of the philosopher's mature production, such as those of citizen, sense of justice and society. The aim is to demonstrate that an in-depth study of Rawls' earlier work can provide innovative and stimulating ideas for the interpretation of his later thought.
