I present two arguments in support of the claim that it is impossible to meet the necessary conditions (proposed by Rawls) for recreating the reasoning that presumably is performed in the original position. I claim therefore that the idea of the original position cannot fulfil its function of justifying the principles of justice. As the solution to the problem I propose a modified version of the original position argument, which can be labeled ‘a slightly lifted veil of ignorance’.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={A slightly lifted veil of ignorance}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/121761/PDF-MASTER/2021-04-PFIL-23-Szutta.pdf}, doi={10.24425/pfns.2021.138993}, keywords={original position, principles of justice, J.
