This paper reconstructs, in a first place, the approach to the overlapping consensus that Rawls develops in the book Political Liberalism under which unfolds his idea of public reason as vertebral support of a constitutional democracy. In the second part, the paper takes the approach of Habermas on constitutional patriotism and the contributions of Honneth and Wellmer to the conceptual configuration of the figure. Finally, in the third part, Rawls’s proposal on the role that a practical philosophy (moral, political and legal) has to play socially in the context of a deliberative democracy, is retaken.
