Reconciling Opposites

Religious Freedom and Contractual Ethics in a Democratic Society

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The American justice system was founded on the idea of "majority-rule," but in a democracy this is achievable only if the majority has the interests of the whole at heart. As a solution, W. Royce Clark formulates a non-majoritarian ethic that would represent not just the interests of white Christian men, but all citizens.
