Value Pluralisms and Social Agreement: Revisited

Informational and Institutional Bases

Abstract

Will it be possible to achieve a convergence of agreement on social order? How can“efficiency”and“fairness”in the paradigm for evaluating system operation be harmonized and coordinated? These questions are explored on both the logical level of principle and the actual level of reality. By juxtaposing the two, the distance between principle and reality is sought and the meaning of that distance considered.
