Abstract

Public justification is perhaps the most intensely discussed topic in political theory. This has certainly been the case at least since the publication of Rawls’s A Theory of Justice in 1971, but the idea that government actions and constraints must subject to a requirement of public justification have been at the core of political reflection since the early modern period. This panel discusses challenges to the idea of public justification and public reasoning from a number of theoretical and methodological perspectives.
