Abstract
The paper comprehensively responds to critical comments by H. Lindahl, S. Maffettone, I. Sal-vatore, and A. Pirni on my Sovereignty Across Generations. Constituent Power and Political Liberalism. Among the themes debated are: the boundaries and the temporal alignment of the ethnos and the demos, the paradox of constituent power, and the transitive dimension of constit-uent power in the accusative (Lindhal); the relation of the early to the later Rawls, the contempo-rary fortunes of normativity, and two ways of using Kant’s Critique of the Power of Judgment for making sense of the “most reasonable” (Maffettone); Rawls and Kelsen on law’s validity, and a possible use of Plato’s allegory of the cave in order to illustrate Rawls’s notion of public reason and the “most reasonable for us” (Salvatore); distinguishing constitutional rules, standards and principles, integrating the notion of the public sphere within political liberalism, and the compat-ibility of climate change related policies with vertical reciprocity (Pirni).
