Ignorance

"Though there be no such thing as Chance in the world; our ignorance of the real cause of any event has the same influence on the understanding...there is certainly a probability"............

I think that regarding with ignorance, veil of ignorance, effectively forces self-interested bargainers to consider other people’s interests. It is the obligation that participants do not know what their own position or any one else’s will be in the society that results from the bargaining game, and know very little about their own talents and skills either. Not only are players in the bargaining game ignorant of their own skills and capacities, they do not know what their interests, their goals, or their conception the good life will be. Apart from these limitations on their knowledge of their own position, the players in the bargaining game are extremely well formed: “They understand political affairs and the principles of economic theory; they know the basis of social organization and the laws of human psychology.”
