Each of these has a particular conception of public reason. Brudner criticizes each of these frameworks insofar as its organizing conception claims to be fundamental, and moves forward to suggest a Hegelian conception of public reason within which each framework is contained as a constituent element of a whole. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen viewed in this light, the liberal constitution embodies a surprising synthesis. It reconciles a commitment to individual liberty and freedom of conscience with the perfectionist idea that the state ought to cultivate a type of personality whose fundamental ends are the goods essential to dignity. Such a reconciliation, the author suggests, may attract competing liberalisms to a consensus on an inclusive conception of public reason under which political authority is validated for those who share a confidence in the individual's inviolable worth.","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47613699162263,"sku":"9780199274666","price":14191.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780199274666.webp?v=1775087211","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/constitutional-goods-9780199274666","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
