Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In a democracy, political authority should be determined independently of religious, philosophical, and ethical ideals that often divide us. This idea, called liberal neutrality, challenges one of the oldest insights of the Western philosophical tradition in politics. At least since Plato, the concept of perfectionism has insisted that statecraft is akin to 'soulcraft,' and political questions about the justification of state power have followed from ethical questions about what is valuable in life and about how we should live if we are to live well.
