Reasonable partisanship as the cement of a pluralistic democracy

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Matteo Bonotti’s Partisanship and Political Liberalism in Diverse Societies develops a Rawlsian framework that defines the constraints political parties need to meet in order to promote their justificatory function and ensure the stability of a pluralistic democracy. Though this perspective represents a significant contribution to the debate both on the normative analysis of partisanship and on the scope and content of public reason, I will suggest that some clarifications are in order regarding its ability to contain populist parties and right-wing hateful speeches.
