If A Were Not Allowed His Better

I'm Concerned About The Survival, Historically, Of Constitutional Democracy.

The Concept Of Justice I Take To Be Defined, Then, By The Role Of Its Principles In Assigning Rights And Duties And In Defining The Appropriate Division Of Social Advantages. A Conception Of Justice Is An Interpretation Of This Role.

There Are Two Kinds Of Comprehensive Doctrines, Religious And Secular. Those Of Religious Faith Will Say I Give A Veiled Argument For Secularism, And The Latter Will Say I Give A Veiled Argument For Religion. I Deny Both. Each Side Presumes The Basic Ideas Of Constitutional Democracy, So My Suggestion Is That We Can Make Our Political Arguments In Terms Of Public Reason. Then We Stand On Common Ground. That's How We Can Understand Each Other And Cooperate.

A Just System Must Generate Its Own Support.

The Idea Of Public Reason Isn't About The Right Answers To All These Questions, But About The Kinds Of Reasons That They Ought To Be Answered By.
