Abstract

GARGARELLA, Roberto. John Rawls, Public Reason and the Judiciary. Prax. filos. [online]. 2008, n.26, pp.287-296. ISSN 0120-4688.

In the light of Rawls’s confidence in the virtues of the judicial reasoning, in this essay will be show that the judicial deliberation, as well as the decision making process followed by the judges (and, in particular, the Supreme Court justices) does not constitute an example of the right way to reason and decide when we have to solve fundamental social problems.

Keywords : Rawls; public reason; judicial deliberation; constitutionalism.
