Schweber argues that justifications based on particular religious doctrines inaccessible to nonadherents cannot be a proper basis for government actions that affect everyone. He develops a model of justification intended to guide citizens in a liberal democracy through the work of creating policies that satisfy their responsibilities to one another.
In Democracy and Authenticity Professor Howard Schweber examines a basic problem for liberal democracies. When a political entity is characterized by a multitude of identities and values, certain constraints apply to reasons for citizens and public officials to justify coercive political actions. The author argues that justifications based on particular religious doctrines are not a proper basis for government actions that affect everyone. He then develops a concept of public justification intended to guide citizens in a liberal democracy through the work of creating policies that satisfy their responsibilities to one another.
