AU-DELÀ DE RAWLS, MÊME S’IL SOIT POINT DE DÉPART: RELIGION ET RAISON PUBLIQUE EN DÉMOCRATIE
BEYOND RAWLS, EVEN IF IT IS A STARTING POINT: RELIGION AND PUBLIC REASON IN DEMOCRACY

Summary/Abstract: The paper has three parts and a conclusion. The first part emphasises significant aspects of John Rawls’ theory about the religious pluralism in the liberal state. In the second part, some concrete relationships between the State and the Church are sowed, and concretely which are the opinions about the problem of icons in schools, as they were expressed by the participants to Romanian sites, and especially of a liberal site. In the third part, the results of a poll among students concerning the compulsory character of religion in the public schools are presented. The study lays out a critical conclusion about the liberal theory of minimal standards of democracy and religious tolerance.
