Indeed Freeman's text is symptomatic of the problem with rawlsianism. When others object that Rawls omits important aspects of moral and political philosophy rawlsians like Freeman dig in and throw out a scattershot of terms, like "natural duties", that are underspecified and underargued for in the rawlsian universe.

Thanks for your comment. It raises t...To John Dixon<br />Thanks for your comment. It raises two issues: (A) Why mention Judaism? (B) Religion as a precondition for moral motivation.<br /><br />(A) Habermas is interested in the <b>historical</b> origins of our modern secular concepts of human rights and universalistic egalitarianism, and in this historical perspective it is important to see Judaism’s historical contribution. Habermas especially mentions the Judaic ethic of justice. Concepts from Judaism and Christianity – and the Greek philosophy – have historically been transformed into secular post-metaphysical concepts, which are no longer connected to any religion or any metaphysical worldview. According to Habermas the secular concepts are today the sources for justification of our principles of the constitutions. It is not necessary to take recourse to religious or metaphysical sources for justifying these principles. Habermas is a methodological atheist and he argues that practical reason – and not the truths proclaimed by religious communities – must have the final say when it comes to justifying constitutional principles. See his ”Religion and Postmetaphysical Thinking” in his book ”Postmetaphysical Thinking II” (Polity Press, 2017), pp. 77-121.<br />(B) In the same book – Habermas’s most recent book on philosophy and religion – he also comments on the relation between religion and moral behavior. (1) Habermas is convinced that also a non-religious socialization of our children can anchor morality in their hearts and that in moral matters religious citizens behave no differently than non-religious citizens. (2) But he believes that the individualistic orientation of our modern ethical and moral conceptions results in a political deficit when it comes to collective acitions towards a number of new ethical and moral problems in our society (e.g. bioethical issues and climate change). In this context he asks the question whether the vocabulary of the major world religions articulates ”secret moral intuitions” that – if translated to a non-religious language – can streghten all citizens’s awareness of these new problems and trigger collective actions. Habermas considers it an open question whether it is realistic to have such a continuing translation from the vocabulary of a particular religious community into a general accessible language for all citizens, including non-believers. (3) Habermas also emphasizes that a number of religious groups play a negative role in many parts of the world.. <br />Thomas Gregersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11528276338463425307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8093952125520595733.post-27921237988509405322018-04-03T00:08:56.782+02:002018-04-03T00:08:56.782+02:00What do you mean by the quote

I am hoping to finish it sooner rather than later but 2014 seems no longer realistic.
