Reflective equilibrium: The reflective equilibrium in Rawls is a method of moral reasoning that involves comparing and contrasting one's moral intuitions with one's principles of justice. The goal is to achieve a state of equilibrium in which one's intuitions and principles are mutually supportive. See also J.
