Description
Political Liberalism (Expanded Edition) by John Rawls (2005) is a seminal work in political philosophy that builds on his earlier book, A Theory of Justice. In this expanded edition, Rawls refines his concept of justice as fairness and addresses the challenges of achieving a stable and just society in a pluralistic democracy. Rawls introduces the idea of "reasonable pluralism," acknowledging that a modern democratic society consists of individuals with diverse moral, religious, and philosophical beliefs. He argues that political legitimacy should not be based on any single comprehensive doctrine but rather on a shared "overlapping consensus"—a set of principles that citizens with different worldviews can endorse. This leads to the concept of public reason, where political decisions should be justified in ways that all reasonable citizens can accept. This expanded edition includes a new introduction and a revised essay, clarifying Rawls' views on how political liberalism responds to critiques. A cornerstone of contemporary political thought, Political Liberalism is essential reading for those interested in democracy, justice, and the role of the state in balancing freedom and equality.
