"Political Liberalism: Expanded Edition" by John Rawls (Repost)

This book continues and revises the ideas of justice as fairness that John Rawls presented in A Theory of Justicebut changes its philosophical interpretation in a fundamental way.

Yet in modern democratic society a plurality of incompatible and irreconcilable doctrines – religious, philosophical, and moral – coexist within the framework of democratic institutions. Recognizing this as a permanent condition of democracy, Rawls asks how a stable and just society of free and equal citizens can live in concord when divided by reasonable but incompatible doctrines? This edition includes the essay
