"The idea of public reason is not a limit on individual thought, but a limit on how citizens are to present their political arguments to one another."
"The concept of justice as fairness is a form of social contract theory."
"The idea of public reason is a moral idea, not merely a prudential one."
"We are not trying to find a theory that explains our considered judgments of justice; we are trying to find a theory that justifies them."
