abstract="In this article I look for an alternative way in which 'unreasonable' people may be included in a liberal society. Differing from Rawls, whose reasonable hope is for unreasonable people gradually to adhere to liberal institutions so that, over time, an overlapping consensus is reached, I propose the alternative way of them supporting these institutions as a special modus vivendi, which does not require them to renounce their non-reasonableness. First I detail the Rawlsian notion of reasonableness and unreasonableness; second, I discuss how the treatment of the unreasonable is addressed by Rawls; third, taking inspiration from two accounts of how to consider the 'unreasonable' within a liberal society, I maintain that a subset of 'unreasonable' (I call them 'non-reasonable') may be included in public debate; fourth, I propose that their way of inclusion is a stable modus vivendi.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
