      abstract = {This open access book provides the first explicit case  study for an application of the method of reflective  equilibrium (RE), using it to develop and defend a  precautionary principle. It thereby makes an important and  original contribution to questions of philosophical method  and methodology. The book shows step-by-step how RE is  applied, and develops a methodological framework which will  be useful for everyone who wishes to use reflective  equilibrium. With respect to precautionary principles, the  book demonstrates how a rights-based precautionary  principle can be constructed and defended. The case study  succeeds in demonstrating that RE can be successfully  applied and puts real constraints on the justification  process. This is all the more remarkable as the case study  was designed as an open-ended process, without presupposing  any specific results. This book will be highly relevant  both to people interested in philosophical methodology and  epistemology, as well as to researchers who are interested  in using philosophical methods and tools and applying them  to practical problems.},
