Summary/Abstract: In this paper I hold that the European social policy is an incentive for the qualitative leap of the European Union towards a well-ordered society, characterized by an overlapping consensus. I will follow Rawls’ account of these concepts, as they have been put forward in his Theory of Justice and in his subsequent works. I hold that not only this is what should happen, but also that the actual trends deem this scenario plausible and viable (correspondingly, I hold that European Union’s becoming a well-ordered society is desirable and that its social policy is what deems the transition feasible).
