ABSTRACT
This exercise developed by legal scholars Val Napoleon and Hadley Friedland in their community-directed research with Indigenous communities is called the Tully Wheel Inspired by the work of James Tully, the exercise exemplifies his decades-long project of reconceiving political theory as a transformative practice of public philosophy. Tully’s place as an innovator in political theory likewise lies in no single contribution but in the diverse ways his work has pursued deparochialising dialogues across multiple traditions in pursuit of perspectives adequate to local and global problems of our times. The “practical” task of political philosophy Tully took from these events was not, as Rawls would have it, establishing shared terms to resolve these disputes.
