Description: Social Choice and Public Reason studies how liberal societies, characterized by moral diversity and pluralism, are able to justify to all their members the rules that make social and political life possible. The challenge lies in the fact that individuals are likely to disagree about what rules should be followed. That means that very often individuals will be forced to abide by rules that they reject. The book addresses this problem by inquiring into the sources of disagreement and how they can be overcome by appropriate social organization and political institutions.
