We May Suppose That Everyone Has In

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

The Idea Of Public Reason Has To Do With How Questions Should Be Decided, But It Doesn't Tell You What Are The Good Reasons Or Correct Decisions.

The Fault Of The Utilitarian Doctrine Is That It Mistakes Impersonality For Impartiality.

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.
