The book explores three distinct approaches to public reason and the role of religion in public life. It examines John Rawls's liberal overlapping consensus, Jürgen Habermas's discourse ethics rooted in Kantian universalism, and Paul Ricoeur's emphasis on the significance of cultural traditions in shaping civic beliefs. Each perspective offers a unique lens on how diverse religious and cultural backgrounds can coexist and contribute to public discourse, highlighting the interplay between personal convictions and collective reasoning in society.
