Of course, if we were designing a society in the Original Position, people might try to ensure that it works in their favour. We can then start thinking about how to make our actual society look more like the ideal picture we have imagined. The idea is that social justice will be whatever reasonable people would agree to in such a situation. It is a purely hypothetical idea: our job in thinking about justice is to imagine that we are designing a society from scratch.

We therefore need to imagine ourselves in a situation before any particular society exists Rawls calls this situation the Original Position.
