Abstract

Main goal of this article is to elaborate basic elements of John Rawls’s theory of deliberative democracy. Main issues are: justice as fairness, problem of stability, idea of overlapping consensus, two moral powers and public reason. We also try to shed some light on the critics of Rawls’s ideas like: John M. Finnis, Herbert L. A. Hart and Michael Sandel. In the conclusion we try to recognize the position of Rawls in the context of history of political philosophy.
