| Reflective equilibrium: The reflective equilibrium in Rawls is a method of moral reasoning that involves comparing and contrasting one's moral intuitions with one's principles of justice. The goal is to achieve a state of equilibrium in which one's intuitions and principles are mutually supportive. See also J. Rawls, Veil of ignorance, Society, Justice, Fairness._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.
