Abstract

The paper presents John Rawls positions on social justice and political liberalism, namely thus two theoretical standpoints later served to develop one of the currents in the theorizing of deliberative democracy. Adhering to the definition of public reason and procedures for building consensus on the public good, Rawls in his early and later works developed a concept of political decision-making that takes into account the optimality of the solutions offered and the full legitimacy of the policy-making process. The current inspired by theories of deliberative democracy has been widely criticized for its political approach, which does not show sensitivity to the sociological aspects of policy-making and political decision-making. This is especially true of the way he postulates his two principles of social justice as impartiality and the expectation on sociologically naive pedestals to form and accept the rules of deliberation.
