I should have a new draft of it up by the end of the week. For now, I will leave the original paper posted.

I’m also posting the second chapter of my dissertation. In it, I explain the structure of justificatory liberalism and ground it in the second-person standpoint and contractualist moral theory. It turns out that the connection is harder to sustain than you might think. I hope that when the reader reaches the end of the chapter, she will see the moral idea justificatory liberalism is supposed to express. In the third and fourth I do the same for the moral idea at the root of the concerns advanced by religious critics of justificatory liberalism. That’s the first half of the dissertation.
