Summary/Abstract: John Rawls’s concept of political liberalism provides new arguments in defining political concept of justice. The issues of social inequality and distribution of goods in society are put aside and in the political focus are the citizens who are in favor of different philosophical, moral and religious universal doctrines. The central issue which the concept of political liberalism seeks to resolve is how is it possible for a society made up of pluralism of different confronting universal doctrines to be well-ordered and stable. The paper focuses on essential elements of political liberalism whose aim is to regulate the plural coexistence of universal doctrines.
