Abstract Political philosophers have recently debated what role social practices should play in normative theorising. Should our theories be practice-independent or practice-dependent? That is, can we formulate normative institutional principles independently of real-world practices or are such principles only ever relative to the practices they are meant to govern? Any first-order theory in political philosophy must contend with the methodological challenges coming out of this debate. In this article, I argue that consequentialism has a plausible account of how social practices should factor in normative political philosophy. I outline a version of consequentialism, Practice Consequentialism, that provides a plausible blueprint for integrating social practices in normative theorising. Second, I argue that Practice Consequentialism accounts well for the central arguments on both sides of the practice-dependence debate. Capturing arguments for practice-dependence, consequentialism brings out why real-world practices are central in formulating institutional principles. Conversely, capturing arguments for practice-independence, consequentialism offers a clear external normative perspective from which to evaluate practices.

Abstract Although philosophy cites less than most other academic subjects, many scholars still take a lack of reference to and engagement with the relevant literature as a reason to reject a paper in philosophy. Here I argue against that idea. Literature requests should only in rare circumstances be an absolute requirement, and a lack of (engagement with) references is not a good reason to reject a paper. Lastly, I briefly discuss whether an author has reasons to provide references, and I argue that although there are special circumstances in which we ought to avoid referencing papers, there are strong reasons in favor of engaging with the literature. Hence there is an asymmetry between what the author has a reason to do in writing a paper and how reviewers and editors ought to evaluate it.

Abstract This article aims to contribute to the existing literature on the virtues and challenges of political liberalism. It argues that the principle of reciprocity can only sustain political agreement under pluralism, if citizens share a relationship of civic friends, based on mutual recognition as equals (Lister in Anal Kritik 2011, pp. 91–112), a non-prudential concern for the interest of others (Leland and van Wietmarschen in J Moral Philos 14, 2017, pp. 142–167) and shared experiences that can foster interpersonal trust. Inasmuch as this thicker definition of civic friendship is sound, and breeds a successful ground for civic reciprocity, it is argued that this renders the concept of civic reciprocity culturally sensitive in at least four ways: how citizens commit to reciprocity, what political values and institutional arrangements they deem reasonable and how they choose to cooperate are all influenced by culture. While this makes the project of multiculturalism more challenging, it does not make it impossible. Rather, it reminds us that while the formal requirement of reciprocity is important, it is a relational value anchored in how citizens relate to one another. Therefore, for multiculturalism to be successful, policies that strengthen ties of civic friendship need to be implemented.
本文旨在对政治自由主义的优点和挑战的现有文献做出贡献。它认为，互惠原则只有在多元主义下才能维持政治协议，前提是公民共享一种基于平等相互承认的公民朋友关系(Lister in Anal Kritik 2011, pp. 91-112)，对他人利益的非审慎关注(Leland和van Wietmarschen in J Moral Philos 14, 2017, pp. 142-167)，以及可以促进人际信任的共享经验。由于公民友谊的这个更厚的定义是合理的，并且为公民互惠培育了一个成功的基础，因此有人认为，这使得公民互惠的概念在至少四个方面具有文化敏感性:公民如何承诺互惠，他们认为合理的政治价值观和制度安排以及他们如何选择合作都受到文化的影响。虽然这使得多元文化主义的项目更具挑战性，但它并不是不可能的。相反，它提醒我们，虽然互惠的正式要求很重要，但它是一种关系价值，根植于公民之间的关系。因此，要使多元文化主义取得成功，就必须实施加强公民友谊纽带的政策。
