Resumo
This dissertation investigates how the political conception of the person in John Rawls provides the foundation that justifies the primacy of political values over religious, philosophical, or moral comprehensive values within a well-ordered society. To this end, it examines the evolution of the conception of the person from A theory of justice (1971), where it is presented as a moral conception based on the two moral powers, to Political liberalism (1993), where it becomes a strictly political conception, referring to the citizen of well-ordered society, and independent of any specific comprehensive doctrine. From this analysis arises a necessary terminological distinction between public identity (of the citizen), comprehensive moral identity (of non-public commitments), and total moral identity (their synthesis through an overlapping consensus). The research demonstrates that by understanding themselves as free in the three senses proposed by Rawls, independence in relation to a particular conception of the good, self-authentication of their claims, and responsibility for their ends, citizens internalize and prioritize the political virtues and values. It concludes that by delimiting the political domain as a sphere of public justification, Rawls provides a coherent response to the problem of social stability under conditions of reasonable pluralism, sustaining the possibility of a reflective (and non-coercive) adherence to the primacy of political values and virtues.
