Self-restraint and the principle of consent: Some considerations of the liberal conception of political legitmacy. [REVIEW]Stefan Grotefeld - 2000 - Ethical Theory and Moral Practice 3 (1):77-92.details This article discusses the legitimacy argument on which many liberals ground their demand for restraining the use of religious convictions in processes of political deliberation and decision making. According to this argument the exercise of political power can only be justified by 'neutral' grounds, i.e. grounds that are able to find reciprocal, hypothetical consent. The author argues that this understanding of political legitimacy is not distinctive of the liberal tradition. His thesis is that reciprocal, hypothetical consent is not sufficient and (...)

However, the soundness of Rawls' argument is premised upon a number of questionable claims that, in effect, render (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 2 citations
(1 other version)Illusions of difference? Larmore's political liberalism.Shaun P. Young - 2002 - Minerva - An Internet Journal of Philosophy 6 (1).details With the 1985 publication of "Justice as Fairness: Political not Metaphysical", John Rawls ushered in a new era in political philosophy. In JAF Rawls provided the first detailed articulation of his conception of "political liberalism"—a concept and a term that would soon thereafter become familiar features of contemporary political theory. In the wake of this development, theorists did more than simply analyse Rawls’ provocative, new propositions; a few also began to develop and articulate their own conceptions of political liberalism.
