If p is a claim that can be justified only by an appeal to some religious authority or tradition, which does not play the same justificatory role for others, then according to the Principle of Political Legitimacy the religious person has no right to expect the adoption of p on the constitutional level. That is not to say that those individuals who carried out the acts escaped with consciences untouched, but the philosophical assumptions which served as justificatory premises for those acts were not compromised in the process. To argue that the justificatory practices of a community are inadequate is simply to admit that there is always the possibility of "getting beyond our present practices in the direction of future practices" (61) or that "some day we may have ways of talking about X that we cannot now imagine" (108). |
