Abstract

It is a commonplace to affirm the kantian influence in the Rawls's work; however, the political constructivism (expose in Political Liberalism, 1993) meant an reject of universalism, that turn it is impossible to explain in kantian terms. What follows is an attempt of evaluating the overlapping consensus thesis in the light the general conception of political philosophy and practical reason in Hegel.
