Rawls and Religion
AvTom Bailey,Valentina Gentile
Inbunden, Engelska, 2014
1 185 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
John Rawls's influential theory of justice and public reason has often been thought to exclude religion from politics, out of fear of its illiberal and destabilizing potentials. It has therefore been criticized by defenders of religion for marginalizing and alienating the wealth of religious sensibilities, voices, and demands now present in contemporary liberal societies. In this anthology, established scholars of Rawls and the philosophy of religion reexamine and rearticulate the central tenets of Rawls's theory to show they in fact offer sophisticated resources for accommodating and responding to religions in liberal political life. The chapters reassert the subtlety, openness, and flexibility of his sense of liberal "respect" and "consensus," revealing their inclusive implications for religious citizens. They also explore the means he proposes for accommodating nonliberal religions in liberal politics, developing his conception of "public reason" into a novel account of the possibilities for rational engagement between liberal and religious ideas.And they reevaluate Rawls's liberalism from the "transcendent" perspectives of religions themselves, critically considering its normative and political value, as well as its own "religious" character. Rawls and Religion makes a unique and important contribution to contemporary debates over liberalism and its response to the proliferation of religions in contemporary political life.

Spaces of Tolerance
Changing Geographies and Philosophies of Religion in Today’s Europe

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book offers interdisciplinary and cross-national perspectives on the challenges of negotiating the contours of religious tolerance in Europe.In today’s Europe, religions and religious individuals are increasingly framed as both an internal and external security threat. This is evident in controls over the activities of foreign preachers but also, more broadly, in EU states’ management of migration flows, marked by questions regarding the religious background of migrating non-European Others. This book addresses such shifts directly by examining how understandings of religious freedom touch down in actual contexts, places, and practices across Europe, offering multidisciplinary insights from leading thinkers from political theory, political philosophy, anthropology, and geography. The volume thus aims to ground ideal liberal democratic theory and, at the same time, to bring normative reflection to grounded, ethnographic analyses of religious practices. Such ‘grounded’ understandings matter, for they speak to how religions and religious difference are encountered in specific places. They especially matter in a European context where religion and religious difference are increasingly not just securitised but made the object of violent attacks.The book will be of interest to students and scholars of politics, philosophy, geography, religious studies, and the sociology and anthropology of religion.

This book offers interdisciplinary and cross-national perspectives on the challenges of negotiating the contours of religious tolerance in Europe.
In todayâ€™s Europe, religions and religious individuals are increasingly framed as both an internal and external security threat. This is evident in controls over the activities of foreign preachers but also, more broadly, in EU statesâ€™ management of migration flows, marked by questions regarding the religious background of migrating non-European Others. This book addresses such shifts directly by examining how understandings of religious freedom touch down in actual contexts, places, and practices across Europe, offering multidisciplinary insights from leading thinkers from political theory, political philosophy, anthropology, and geography. The volume thus aims to ground ideal liberal democratic theory and, at the same time, to bring normative reflection to grounded, ethnographic analyses of religious practices. Such â€˜groundedâ€™ understandings matter, for they speak to how religions and religious difference are encountered in specific places. They especially matter in a European context where religion and religious difference are increasingly not just securitised but made the object of violent attacks.
The book will be of interest to students and scholars of politics, philosophy, geography, religious studies, and the sociology and anthropology of religion.

The Ethics of ESG
Critically Assessing the Environmental, Social and Governance Movement

In recent years, new forms of investment have been created to direct funds towards companies performing well according to predefined environmental, social, and governance (ESG) indicators. This volume addresses moral, political, and legal questions about the legitimacy of ESG as a management and investment strategy. Some chapters argue that ESG strategies should focus on creating real-life impacts on morally significant problems, such as climate change, human rights violations, and corporate corruption. Other chapters instead examine the possibility that the long-term feasibility of ESG limits its moral ambitions, requiring ESG to be regarded as only a set of devices for minimizing risk in a way that protects financial gain. The book contributes a much-needed understanding of ethical interpretations of the ESG movement, which are likely to drive future social, political and legal developments.

Freedom With Religions
Rethinking Civility through Political Inclusivism in Liberal Democracies
AvValentina Gentile
E-bok
PDF, Engelska, 2025

Läs direkt efter köp
Freedom With Religions offers a new interpretation of Rawls' political liberalism, aiming to reconcile this framework with the profound forms of religious pluralism that characterise contemporary democracies. Rather than aligning with either the traditional defenders or the radical critics of Rawls' project, the book charts a middle path-one that reaffirms the core commitments of political liberalism while expanding its capacity to accommodate religion and religious identities.At the heart of this approach lies political inclusivism: a normative framework that remains faithful to the principles of public reason, yet moves beyond standard interpretations to better reflect the lived experiences of religious citizens. Building on this foundation, the book introduces the notion of a culture of civility: a socially embedded complement to the duty of civility that helps bridge the gap between public justification and the ethical life of civil society. These innovations aim not only to reinterpret Rawls's theory but also to articulate a broader and more inclusive vision of the liberal democratic ethos.This book will be of particular interest to postgraduate students and scholars in political theory, philosophy, sociology of religion, and the social sciences more broadly. It will also appeal to policymakers and practitioners engaged in anti-discrimination efforts and interfaith dialogue in pluralist democracies.
