Abstrakt: This text provides an overview of John Rawls's concept of political liberalism and its implications for pluralist societies. Rawls argues that in societies with diverse and reasonable comprehensive views, a political conception of justice is necessary to address conflicts over fundamental issues. He emphasizes the importance of social cooperation, well-ordered societies, and the acceptance of diverse conceptions of the common good. The text also discusses the distinction between comprehensive and political conceptions of justice, the need for a political conception in pluralist societies, and the challenges of maintaining a distinction between essentials and ordinary policy. It concludes by suggesting that political liberalism represents a realistic utopia. [Extracted from the article]
