Which pair is correctly matched (idea and thinker)?
- 1. Reflective Equilibrium: John Rawls
- 2. Overlapping Consensus: Bentham
- 3. Rights as Trumps: Dworkin
- 4. Categorical Imperative: Locke
A1 and 2
B1 and 3 ✓ Correct
COnly 1
DOnly 2
Correct answer: (B) 1 and 3 — Pairs 1 and 3 are correctly matched, so the answer is 1 and 3.
Explanation
★Pairs 1 and 3 are correctly matched, so the answer is 1 and 3.
★Reflective equilibrium is John Rawls' method of adjusting principles and judgements until they cohere.
★Rights as trumps is Ronald Dworkin's idea that rights override ordinary collective goals.
★Pair 2 is wrong, because overlapping consensus is also Rawls' concept, not Bentham's.
★It describes how people with different worldviews can agree on shared political principles.
★Pair 4 is wrong, because the categorical imperative is Immanuel Kant's, not Locke's.
★So only the Rawls and Dworkin pairings here are correct.
