特集 : 西脇与作君・樽井正義君退職記念寄稿論文Rawls's political liberalism claims that under the condition of reasonable pluralism coercive laws are legitimate only if they are justifiable to all reasonable citizens. This requirement of public justification is fulfilled when laws are justified by public reason. And the content of public reason is given by political conceptions of justice which can be the focus of an overlapping consensus of reasonable comprehensive doctrines. This paper clarifies why political liberalism sets this requirement of public justification and highlights the characteristic features of political liberalism as a kind of liberalism by first, comparing political liberalism to comprehensive liberalism and second, by comparing political liberalism to perfectionist liberalism.
