| Abstract [eng] |
The article deals with the problem of a rational consensus in contemporary political philosophy, arosed by postrnodern critique of modern Reason. In this context two important ideas - an "Overlapping consensus" of John Rawls and „the Diff erend" of Jean-Francois Lyotard - are discussed, compared and criticized. Paradoxical implications produced by a comrnon antifunamentist approach are pointed out. An attempt is made to show that in both cases consensus or disensus are allready presupposed in advance: the kind of the thesis depends upon suppositions about the nature of epistemic pluralism and its link with the political. |
