Abstract

of Political Liberalism contains a new second introduction which, among other things, tries to make clearer certain aspects of political liberalism.Section 5 of this introduction, id at 1-1vii, discusses the idea of public reason and sketches several changes I now make in affirming this idea.These are all followed and elaborated in what is presented here and are important to a complete understanding of the argument.Note also that the pagination of the paperback edition is the same as the original.
