– Før du vurderer å kjøpe denne boken, så vil jeg anbefale at du leser Rawls' bok "Theory of Justice" fra 1971. "Political Liberalism" er nemlig en modifisering av mange ideer Rawls introduserte i "Theory of Justice". Etter å ha revolusjonert statsvitenskapen på søttitallet, kom Rawls ut med denne boken her. Den er tung, vanskelig å fordøye, men absolutt verdt slitet. Likevel er den ikke en god innføring i politisk liberalisme, for det bør du lete etter andre steder. Dette er statsvitenskaplig idealisme for viderekomne. Jeg brukte lang tid på komme meg gjennom boken og endte ofte opp med å måtte lese utdrag fra "Theory of Justice" for å forstå hvor i landskapet Rawls befant seg - og min engelsk er det ingenting å utsette på. Hvis du er kjent med forfatteren og temaet, så er dette en bok å anbefale, men dette bør ikke være din første bok fra forfatteren. Boken bør sees som en oppfølger til "Theory of Justice".
Political Liberalism
This book continues and revises the ideas of justice as fairness that John Rawls presented in A Theory of Justice but changes its philosophical interpretation in a fundamental way. 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.

This book continues and revises the ideas of justice as fairness that John Rawls presented in A Theory of Justice but changes its philosophical interpretation in a fundamental way. 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? This edition includes the essay "The Idea of Public Reason Revisited," which outlines Rawls' plans to revise Political Liberalism, which were cut short by his death. "An extraordinary well-reasoned commentary on A Theory of Justice...a decisive turn towards political philosophy." -Times Literary Supplement
