Now The Good Of Political Life Is

In Constant Pursuit Of Money To Finance Campaigns, The Political System Is Simply Unable To Function. Its Deliberative Powers Are Paralyzed.

Thus I Assume That To Each According To His Threat Advantage Is Not A Conception Of Justice.

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.

Many Of Our Most Serious Conflicts Are Conflicts Within Ourselves. Those Who Suppose Their Judgements Are Always Consistent Are Unreflective Or Dogmatic.

You Hear That Liberalism Lacks An Idea Of The Common Good, But I Think That's A Mistake.
