 Public justification theorists assume that our personal reasons for action and belief can differ, and in some cases, substantially. The reasons one may offer in public justification may be narrower than one’s personal reasons, but even consensus theorists think that justifying reasons must, in some sense, adhere to an agent’s beliefs and values. Public justification theorists need not adopt Gaus’s epistemology of justificatory reasons, but the correct account cannot be too far off.
