Abstract

This paper critically evaluates the capacity of reasonableness to bend history toward peace. It compares the work of reasonableness in John Rawls’ (2005) ideal theory of the “law of peoples” to the norm’s appearance in the actual discourses of the “law of nations” in the early U.S. Congress. From that comparison, the paper draws out the rhetorical dimensions of reasonableness and its limits as an argumentative norm meant to guard against the legitimation of violence.
