93Why not Extend Rawls’ Public Reason Beyond Fundamental Issues? A Defence of the Broad-Scope View of Public ReasonTeorema: International Journal of Philosophy 39 (2): 105-125. 2020.The scope of public reason determines which political decisions should be taken according to its standards.

In the first part, I argue that, despite the unclarity of Rawls’ position, it is compatible with the wide-scope view.

Tras contrastar este concepto con el de discurso del odio, concluyo que ambos son independientes y que por tanto el populismo no necesita recurrir a discursos del odio, al menos en teoría. Sin embargo, ad…Read more

Finally, and drawing from the general notion of information, I d…Read more

221On citizens' right to information: Justification and analysis of the democratic right to be well informedJournal of Political Philosophy 31 (3): 358-384. 2023.The idea that citizens have a right to receive information that is relevant for their suitable exercise of political rights and liberties is well established in democratic societies. However, this right has never been systematically analyzed, thus remaining a blurry concept. This article tackles this conceptual gap by conceptualizing citizens’ right to information. After reviewing previous approaches to this idea, I locate citizens’ right to information on the map of communication rights, and pu…Read more
