Jeffrey Stout claims that John Rawls’s idea of public reason (IPR) has contributed to a Christian backlash against liberalism. This paper argues that those Stout calls “antiliberal traditionalists” have misunderstood Rawls in important ways, and goes on to consider Stout’s own critiques of the IPR. While Rawls’s idea is often interpreted as a blanket prohibition on religious reasoning outside church and home, the paper will show that the very viability of the IPR depends upon a rich culture of deliberation in which all forms of reasoning can be put forth for consideration. This clarification addresses the perception that the IPR imposes an “asymmetrical burden” upon believers. The paper suggests that there are in fact good reasons why believers, qua<\/em> believers, might endorse the IPR.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
