We Must Choose For Others As We

Ideally Citizens Are To Think Of Themselves As If They Were Legislators And Ask Themselves What Statutes, Supported By What Reasons Satisfying The Criterion Of Reciprocity, They Would Think Is Most Reasonable To Enact.

Justice Is Happiness According To Virtue.

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.

The Good Of Political Life Is The Good Of Free And Equal Citizens Recognizing The Duty Of Civility To One Another And Supporting The Institutions Of A Constitutional Regime.

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