About Political Liberalism

Political Liberalism is a 1993 book by the American philosopher John Rawls, in which he elaborates on how the material in his earlier work, A Theory of Justice (1971), should be applied in a pluralist political context. In it, he attempts to show that his theory of justice is not a "comprehensive conception of the good" but is instead compatible with a liberal conception of the role of justice, namely, that government should be neutral between competing conceptions of the good. Rawls tries to show that his two principles of justice, properly understood, form a "theory of the right" which would be supported by all reasonable individuals, even under conditions of reasonable pluralism. The mechanism by which he demonstrates this is called "overlapping consensus". Here he also develops his idea of public reason.
