Justice. . . is a kind of compact not to harm or be harmed. Epicurus

is a rational, not instrumental, in that it enables each to realize his or her nature as a morally and rationally autonomous being.

Rawls's congruence argument ambitiously aims to show that justice is rational in the strongest way.
