This book considers a variety of explanations of why political
disagreement is so extensive and persistent. The author examines
variants of the 'contestability' and 'imperfection' conceptions
which have dominated political theory: the idea that political
disagreement is so pervasive because of its value-ladenness; that
key political concepts are essentially contested; that those who
occupy very different political positions fail to understand each
other. He argues that we need to develop a framework which borrows
elements from both schools of thought, presupposing some form of
moral cognitivism, while recognizing that many political disputes
cannot be resolved to the satisfaction of every reasonable person.
Within such a framework he shows how empirical models can be
constructed which give an active role not only to the agent's
reasons for his or her beliefs, but also to other psychological and
sociological considerations.
