I argue that political liberals fail to work out a unanimous political principle because they avoid the problem of reasonable disagreement, whether by way oforiginal position in J. Rawls or principle of neutrality in C. Larmore, and B. Ackerman. Political liberals are confronted with a complicated dilemma when forced to address the problem of diversity, namely, the dilemma of excluding or including conceptions of the good that falsify the original position of neutrality. In order to address the challenge of reasonable pluralism, and to overcome the liberal dilemma, I propose an engaged model for the mutual understanding of differences as the basis of reaching political consensus. This model consists of a procedural presentation of differences in order to achieve mutual understanding and a rationale for a common political project. It expands a deliberative public sphere and opens new possibilities for the comparative study of political, religious, moral, and philosophical doctrines that enhance a prospect of toleration, political consensus and political justice in pluralistic democratic societies.
