In this innovative and important work, Gerald Gaus advances a
revised, and more realistic, account of public reason liberalism,
showing how, in the midst of fundamental disagreement about values
and moral beliefs, we can achieve a moral and political order that
treats all as free and equal moral persons. The first part of this
work analyzes social morality as a system of authoritative moral
rules. Drawing on an earlier generation of moral philosophers such
as Kurt Baier and Peter Strawson as well as current work in the
social sciences, Gaus argues that our social morality is an evolved
social fact, which is the necessary foundation of a mutually
beneficial social order. The second part considers how this system
of social moral authority can be justified to all moral persons.
Drawing on the tools of game theory, social choice theory,
experimental psychology, and evolutionary theory, Gaus shows how a
free society can secure a moral equilibrium that is endorsed by
all, and how a just state respects, and develops, such an
equilibrium.
