What does «consenso traslapado» mean in Spanish?
- How proponents of different comprehensive normative doctrines - involving seemingly inconsistent conceptions of justice - can reach agreement on particular principles of justice that underpin the basic social institutions of a political community. Comprehensive doctrines may include systems of religion, political ideology, or morality. Overlapping consensus is a term coined by John Rawls in A Theory of Justice and developed in Political Liberalism. Rawls explains that an overlapping consensus on principles of justice can occur despite "considerable differences in citizens' conceptions of justice, provided that these conceptions lead to similar political judgments."
