Justice Is The First Virtue Of Social Institutions.

The Sense Of Justice Is Continuous With The Love Of Mankind.

A Just System Must Generate Its Own Support.

Any Comprehensive Doctrine, Religious Or Secular, Can Be Introduced Into Any Political Argument At Any Time, But I Argue That People Who Do This Should Also Present What They Believe Are Public Reasons For Their Argument. So Their Opinion Is No Longer Just That Of One Particular Party, But An Opinion That All Members Of A Society Might Reasonably Agree To, Not Necessarily That They Would Agree To. What's Important Is That People Give The Kinds Of Reasons That Can Be Understood And Appraised Apart From Their Particular Comprehensive Doctrines.

A Political Conception Just Applies To The Basic Structure Of A Society, Its Institutions, Constitutional Essentials, Matters Of Basic Justice And Property, And So On.
