dc.description.abstractThis research examines the evolution of the idealist conception of liberal political thought from Immanuel Kant to John Rawls. This research traces the evolution of key liberal principles which includes reason, individual autonomy, and social justice through works the works of these two prominent philosophers. Kant's categorical imperatives and kingdom of ends served as the foundation upon which Rawls' theory of justice as fairness was built. Rawls went further to develop a more comprehensive understanding of liberal principles to address issues such as distributive justice and the role of the state. The paper submits that liberal political thought as pushed forward by Kant and Rawls is a valuable framework for understanding contemporary political challenges. Keywords: Kant, Reason, Liberal, Political thought, Rawls
