The Pluralist Game: Pluralism, Liberalism, and the Moral Conscience

Sprednja platnica
Rowman & Littlefield, 1995 - 164 strani
The "pluralist game," the way in which we attempt to resolve the problems arising out of our pluralism through the political and judicial processes, necessarily engages the citizens of our society. This book brings together 14 essays from a leading Catholic political theorist to address the central issue of American theological, political, and social thought: the relationship between religion, morals, law, and public policy in a pluralistic liberal society.
