The text develops basic elements such as fundamental ideas, a political conception of justice, society as fair cooperation, and the original position. It further addresses the powers and representation of citizens, political constructivism, overlapping consensus, stability, priority of right and the good, and the role and content of public reason for constitutional essentials.","P litical Libera ism  \nBY THE AUTH OR OF A TH IO RY OP .I U IT ICI  \nPOLITICAL LIBERALISM  \nThe John Dewey Essays in Philosophy  \nW.
