Theories of Public Reason<\/h1>\n

Areti Theofilopoulou (Institute of Philosophy of the Czech Academy of Sciences) and Gabriele Badano (The University of York)
<\/strong><\/p>\n

Arthur Lewis Building: Room G.035<\/em><\/p>\n

This panel seeks to bring together those working on issues related to theories of public reason and public justification, broadly understood. There has been a significant literature developing in recent years around political and public reason liberalism. Alongside John Rawls\u2019s view, distinct viewpoints on the idea of a publicly justified polity have emerged through the work of Gerald Gaus, Andrew Lister, Jonathan Quong, Kevin Vallier, and others.<\/p>\n

Not only are these accounts interesting by their own lights, they also relate to important questions about the foundations of liberalism, the scope of political toleration, the status of religion and other comprehensive worldviews in liberal democracies, and debates between perfectionist and anti-perfectionist liberals.<\/p>\n
