4.0 out of 5 stars
Strong description of the tension between "freedom" and "equality",
By
This review is from: Religious Commitment and Secular Reason (Hardcover)
Audi defines a "liberal democracy" as one that is committed to both freedom and equality. He sees these two values as being in tension, tending to "pull a society in different directions" (p. 5). He articulates a view of religion and politics that he believes is appropriate for both citizens and institutions (p. ix).
What ethical standards should govern the participation of religious citizens in politics? What standards should govern the conduct of all citizens when they act in ways that significantly affect religion? What views of freedom and equality should be operative? These are the central questions that Audi raises and attempts to answer in a detailed and well nuanced discussion. The creative tension between religious commitment and secular reason in U.S. society will continue to shape our national and international agendas into the future. Audi's book is a welcomed treatment of this tension and a valuable voice in the ongoing debate. |
