Foucault and Rawls: Government and Public Reason
View through CrossRef
The chapter by Patton discusses the stage in the development of liberal governmentality from reason of state to the public use of reason, that is, from Hobbes to Kant. Patton is interested in the function of liberal governmentality as a normative order for a certain way of distributing property, and in this context he situates the interest of Foucault’s interpretation of neoliberalism by comparing and contrasting the neoliberal conception of equal distribution with that of Rawls, who advocates a normative order of “property-owning democracy” informed by a Kantian conception of public reason.
