Synopsis

This article explores John Rawls’s critique of the concept of the common good as a sufficient foundation for democratic society. It argues that constitutional democracy should be grounded in reciprocity, political reasonableness, and public deliberation rather than in comprehensive conceptions of the common good. The article highlights the importance of reasonable pluralism, individual autonomy, and public reason, emphasizing that political legitimacy depends on fair cooperation and the voluntary acceptance of shared principles rather than on majoritarian inclusion or social efficiency. This abstract is generated with artificial intelligence.
