Political Liberalism

Political Liberalism
By:John Rawls
Published on 2005-03-24 by Columbia University Press

This book continues and revises the ideas of justice as fairness that John Rawls presented in A Theory of Justice but changes its philosophical interpretation in a fundamental way. That previous work assumed what Rawls calls a |well-ordered society,| one that is stable and relatively homogenous in its basic moral beliefs and in which there is broad agreement about what constitutes the good life. Yet in modern democratic society a plurality of incompatible and irreconcilable doctrines—religious, philosophical, and moral—coexist within the framework of democratic institutions. Recognizing this as a permanent condition of democracy, Rawls asks how a stable and just society of free and equal citizens can live in concord when divided by reasonable but incompatible doctrines? This edition includes the essay |The Idea of Public Reason Revisited,| which outlines Rawls' plans to revise Political Liberalism, which were cut short by his death. |An extraordinary well-reasoned commentary on A Theory of Justice...a decisive turn towards political philosophy.| —Times Literary Supplement
