Example text

Although this sphere is capable of overcoming the conflict between universality and particularity, through the association of the validity of the assertions and the correctness of the norms to the establishment of reasoned agreements, it cannot easily question the hegemonic cultural assumptions of the state in the regulation of its proceduralism. The conclusion that must be drawn is that the relative failures of Rawls and Habermas to establish liberal-democratic foundations for multinational polities is due to the limitations of the intellectual traditions from which they stem.

And as such, it seems logical that it should encounter difficulties when from its own premises it attempts to tackle the international sphere—‘Law of Peoples’ (Rawls 1999)—or it has to deal with a kind of pluralism whose processes of nation-building conflict with those supported by the state. The latter is not questioned but implicitly accepted. Rawls’ work continues to display too many implicit assumptions of a specific kind of liberal communitarianism, which restricts his notion of pluralism.

I think that the step from liberalism 1 to liberalism 2 may presuppose a broadening of pluralism with the aim of including certain cultural and national dimensions that, up to now, have been undervalued or greatly marginalized in the liberal and democratic traditions of contemporary political thought. This is a broadening that, in fact, is facilitated by the very same ‘universalist’ language used by the narrative of the liberal tradition. It aims at widening the semantic content of certain liberal notions such as those of pluralism, equality or liberty, and—at the same time—at undermining the limitations and biases of its manifestations based on the stateism and nationalism maintained in practice by liberal democracies.
