Overlapping consensus is a term coined by John Rawls in A Theory of Justice and developed in Political Liberalism.The term refers to how supporters of different comprehensive normative doctrines—that entail apparently inconsistent conceptions of justice—can agree on particular principles of justice that underwrite a political community's basic social institutions. Comprehensive doctrines can include systems of religion, political ideology, or morality.
