Críticas:

"Dombrowski shows an impressive grasp of not only Rawls's work, but of what is at stake in the relation between religion and politics as well. He is accurate and thorough with regard to the main ideas and arguments in both Theory of Justice and Political Liberalism. Important issues such as race, gender, abortion, animal welfare, to name a few, are given thoughtful and illuminating attention in a way that logically follows from Rawls's version of liberalism." -- Timothy Menta, St. Francis University

"This book presents the most comprehensive treatment I have read on Rawls's political liberalism and religious reason and the literature critical of Rawls on this topic." -- Harlan Beckley, Washington and Lee University

Reseña del editor:

Not only are scholars incorrect when they assume 20th-century political philosopher John Rawls is not interested in the relationship between politics and religion, contends Dombrowski (philosophy, Seattle U.), but in fact his treatment shows that the relationship is at the core of the problem that liberalism has for centuries meant to solve. He uses Rawl's thought to examine abortion, fundamentalism as a growth industry, the perceived decline of secular culture, and other controversial issues. Annotation c.
