The concept of peoples presented in John Rawls' book The Law of Peoples is among the most criticized ideas in the third book of Rawls' trilogy. In this article, I will seek to justify this idea based on Philip Pettit's analysis of the concept, demonstrating the coherence of the concept of peoples within the scope of the work in which it appears and highlighting the role it plays in a more general perspective in the theory of justice as fairness. The article argues that Rawls' ontology of peoples, as interpreted by Pettit, provides criteria for assessing the illegitimacy of groups that act irrationally, offering a relevant conceptual resource for contemporary debates on extremism.
