The Method of Reflexive Equilibrium in Political Philosophy

Summary/Abstract: THE AIM OF the essay is to present and analyse one of the most well-recognized and ubiquitously deployed method in political philosophy, namely the method of reflexive equilibrium. The focus and scope of the article is a practical employment of the method to solve such real life moral quandaries as an abortion problem or more thought-experimental conundrums as the trolley paradox. The author contends that what is recognized as so-called wide reflexive equilibrium is of a particular merit for moral reasoning, especially by virtue of the background theories’ contribution to the upshot of the procedure in question.
