Beskrivning

This book develops an original theory that grounds political principles and practices in common interests among citizens and residents of a country. This theory differs from most prevalent political philosophies in that they focus on common ideas which emphasize how we might think rather than how we actually live, or on competing or conflicting interests for the purpose of balancing or advancing one set of interests over another. On Common Interests offers principles, possible structures, and practices that enable government to help us advance the interests we share. As a political philosophy, it values cooperation and collaboration over conflict and competition.

Recensioner i media

Ryder develops a detailed and tightly reasoned pragmatic alternative to political philosophies constructed on left/right/center and liberal/anti-liberal assumptions. His innovative approach is pluralistic and ecumenical. He urges consensus-building motivated not by what people think or believe, but by how their experiences shape their lives as individuals and members of communities.
