More from John Rawls
"The idea of public reason applies to the political domain, not to all aspects of life."
"Each person possesses an inviolability founded on justice that even the welfare of society as a whole cannot override."
"Once we understand the principles of justice, we can then apply them to the real world, and see what kind of society they would lead to."
"The overlapping consensus is a feature of a well-ordered society in which citizens hold different comprehensive doctrines but still agree on a political conception of justice."
"The duty of civility requires us to explain how our political positions can be supported by the values of public reason."
