The University of San Diego School of Law's Institute for Law and Philosophy and Institute for Law and Religion is holding a roundtable discussion on public reason focusing on topics such as: What is the scope and structure of public reason? Is it possible for public reasoning to avoid full-blown claims to truth, as some defenders require? Is it permissible within public reason discourse to appeal to religious values or the religious foundations of one's values? What is the connection between political legitimacy and the requirement of public reason discourse?
