- Title
Political activism, egalitarian justice, and public reason.
- Authors
Neufeld, Blain
- Abstract
This article explores the relationship between political activism, egalitarian justice, and public reason. It addresses criticisms that public reason theorists separate political philosophy from political activism and argues that political activism can be compatible with a commitment to public reason. The article also discusses the compatibility of political liberalism and political activism, asserting that acknowledging the legitimacy of other political conceptions of justice does not prevent one from promoting their own preferred conception. The author concludes that endorsing public reason allows for political philosophy to support political activism while respecting diverse perspectives. The article emphasizes the importance of respectful engagement and dialogue among citizens with different worldviews.
