Our philosophical protagonist is John Rawls. This book comprises a study of the rise and workings, within the Rawlsian political-liberal philosophy, of the idea of a country's higher-legal constitution as a public platform for the justification of political coercion. A study of Rawls on constitutionalism can help us, I believe, in scoping out and managing a cluster of constitutional lawyers' debates-interminable ones, it seems, in the constitutional-democratic precincts of our times-that I will catalogue soon below. But conversely, I believe, those seeking the best and truest readings of Rawls might have something to learn from the controversies of the lawyers. My approach to Rawls has accordingly been that of a critically leavened (while no doubt broadly sympathetic) exegesis, while with the legal-discursive materials I take more of a diagnostic turn. My hope is that a treatment of these two discourses in relation to each other will prove an aid to both political-philosophical and legal-practical reflection"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Rawls, John, $d 1921-2002. 600 17 $a Rawls, John, $d 1921-2002. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00027698 650 0 $a Constitutional law $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Constitutional law $x Political aspects. 650 0 $a Liberalism $x Political aspects. 650 0 $a Legitimacy of governments. 650 7 $a Constitutional law $x Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00875821 650 7 $a Constitutional law $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00875823 650 7 $a Legitimacy of governments. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00995908 776 08 $i Online version: $a Michelman, Frank I., 1936- $t Constitutional essentials $d New York, NY : Oxford University Press, 2022 $z 9780197655856 $w (DLC) 2022006294 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230517011515.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1865771C803411ED944134D030ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
