People Can Make Arguments From The Bible

You Hear That Liberalism Lacks An Idea Of The Common Good, But I Think That's A Mistake.

Any Comprehensive Doctrine, Religious Or Secular, Can Be Introduced Into Any Political Argument At Any Time, But I Argue That People Who Do This Should Also Present What They Believe Are Public Reasons For Their Argument. So Their Opinion Is No Longer Just That Of One Particular Party, But An Opinion That All Members Of A Society Might Reasonably Agree To, Not Necessarily That They Would Agree To. What's Important Is That People Give The Kinds Of Reasons That Can Be Understood And Appraised Apart From Their Particular Comprehensive Doctrines.

At Best The Principles That Economists Have Supposed The Choices Of Rational Individuals To Satisfy Can Be Presented As Guidelines For Us To Consider When We Make Our Decisions.

A Political Conception Covers The Right To Vote, The Political Virtues, And The Good Of Political Life, But It Doesn't Intend To Cover Anything Else.

The Idea Of Public Reason Has To Do With How Questions Should Be Decided, But It Doesn't Tell You What Are The Good Reasons Or Correct Decisions.
