MORESO, J. J.. Cristina Lafont on the Completeness of Public Reason. []. , spe55, pp.15-31.   08--2023. ISSN 0122-9893.  https://doi.org/10.18601/01229893.n55.03.

In this paper, an orthogonal aspect of Lafont (2020) is analysed: her rejection of the Rawlsian thesis of completeness of public reason. For that purpose, such doctrine is succinctly presented and the generated debate too. Lafont's account is introduced: public reason is not sufficient in some hard cases, but this insufficiency does not mean that we should resort to the comprehensive conceptions, we should looking for some kind of policy of accommodation. In the paper, instead, it is argued in favour of the completeness of public reason and an objection to the Lafont's account is introduced.
