= Reflective equilibrium
{wiki=Reflective_equilibrium}
Reflective equilibrium is a methodological concept in ethics and philosophy used to achieve a coherent set of beliefs or principles by balancing considered judgments and theoretical principles. The process involves adjusting beliefs about particular cases (specific instances of moral situations) and general principles (broader ethical rules or theories) until they are in harmony with one another. The idea is often associated with the philosopher John Rawls, who used it in his work on justice and political philosophy.
