Abstract
[This chapter concerns state neutrality: it discusses the requirement of Public Reason in the light of the historical debate on the abolition of slavery. Public Reason demands that state force be based upon reasons that are acceptable to all reasonable citizens; arguments derived from particular religious or metaphysical ‘comprehensive’ worldviews are excluded. Waldron rejects the constraints of Public Reason for being irrational: the Christian faith may be true. Moreover, its restraints are immoral: the abolition of slavery in the United States of America was expedited by Christian arguments; without such arguments slavery might have survived much longer. Instead, Waldron advocates ‘Comprehensive Reason’: all comprehensive views may be submitted; in case of disagreement, the democratic majority must decide.]
