Justifying political liberalism
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- I draw on the ideal of political community to defend political liberalism's defining commitment, the Reciprocity Principle. I argue that the Reciprocity Principle is justified by the fact that compliance with the principle promotes an attractive and inclusive form of political community in pluralistic societies. Along the way, I criticize claims that the Reciprocity Principle is self-defeating, that developing a justification of the principle is at odds with the principle's inclusive spirit, and that compliance with the principle is a requirement of respect for the governed.
