That previous work assumed what Rawls calls a \"well-ordered society,\" one that is stable and relatively homogenous in its basic moral beliefs and in which there is broad agreement about what constitutes the good life. Yet in modern democratic society a plurality of incompatible and irreconcilable doctrines--religious, philosophical, and moral--coexist within the framework of democratic institutions. Recognizing this as a permanent condition of democracy, Rawls asks how a stable and just society of free and equal citizens can live in concord when divided by reasonable but incompatible doctrines? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis edition includes the essay \"The Idea of Public Reason Revisited,\" which outlines Rawls' plans to revise \u003ci\u003ePolitical Liberalism, \u003c\/i\u003e which were cut short by his death. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"An extraordinary well-reasoned commentary on \u003ci\u003eA Theory of Justice\u003c\/i\u003e...a decisive turn towards political philosophy.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e--\u003ci\u003eTimes Literary Supplement\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe late John Rawls was professor emeritus of philosophy at Harvard University.
