Political Constructivism is concerned with the justification of
principles of political justice in the face of pluralism.
Contemporary accounts of multiculturalism, pluralism and diversity
have challenged the capacity of political theory to impartially
justify principles of justice beyond the boundaries of particular
communities. In this original account, Peri Roberts argues that
political constructivism defends a conception of objective and
universal principles that set normative limits to justifiable
political practice. Political Constructivism explores this
understanding in two ways. Firstly, by engaging with constructivist
thinkers such as John Rawls and Onora O'Neill in order to lay out a
basic understanding of what constructivism is. Secondly, the author
goes on to defend a particular account of political constructivism
that justifies a universal primary constructivism alongside the
many secondary constructions in which we live our everyday lives.
In doing so he outlines an understanding of principled pluralism
which accepts diversity whilst at the same time recognising its
limits. This volume will be of particular interest to students and
researchers of political theory and political philosophy.
