O preço do Pluralismo : sobre a função moduladora do princípio da diferença no liberalismo político de Rawls

Abstract

The research analyzes the contribution of John Rawls in the current debate about public justice. Starting from the basic conceptions of rawlsian justice theory, highlighting the formulation of the principles of justice, also the notion of effectiveness in the acess to fair equality and in the exercise of fundamental freedoms will be checked out, analyzing this notion in the light of the primary social goods idea and taking into account the influence of the private comprehensive moral doctrines. It is intended to show that the solution to the problems encountered here, the solution which will be extracted from the suggestions in the rawlsian work, it undergoes a kind of modulation on the principle of difference. The goal is to demonstrate that this can foster a more egalitarian liberal democracy, which justifies the renewed relevance of the research on the legacy of Rawls.
