Abstract

In this writing it is presented Rawl's proposal about the possibility of civil disobedience in the face of a democratic authority legitimately established. Rawlsian civil disobedience shows its antiauthoritarian claims depending on the maintenance of a fair order, and social society is the way of doing it. There, values like justice, diversity, mutual respect, dignity and respect for liberty are shared. Civil society is conformed by such an elements as associative, cooperative and plural character, and by public reason to reach agreements and reach the defense of justice.
