Abstract
My model of just procedure can rightly be described as "a highly idealized version of democratic decision-making." Philosophers never invent morals or conceptions of justice; they rather distill them from existing practices, be they old or just in making, put the distilled elements into a fairly coherent shape and "idealize" them. I did just the same, only that I did not claim to have deduced those principles from reason, neither that they are "eternal." What I said was rather simple. We live in the modem world. What will happen tomorrow we do not know. We need to extrapolate the situation called "modernity" into our close future, and if this is so, we can also extrapolate the main values of modernity into this future. Since modernity has actually universalized the value "freedom" and is about to universalize the value "life" as well, we need to think up a concept of justice that could be adequate to this situation.
