Public Philosophy: Essays on Morality in Politics
Perfectionism, Freedom, and Virtue: Sandel’s “Formative Project”
Fatal Attraction: "Willful Liberalism" and the Denial of Public Transparency
Fatal Attraction: “Willful Liberalism” and the Denial of Public Transparency
Liberals often seek to ground public rules and institutions in values and beliefs that can make sense to all citizens despite their ethical diffeences. For Richard Flathman, however, this search for political “tranparency” is rooted in excessive fear of diversity and excessive optimism regarding our capacity to rationally resolve the difficulties created by liguistic and ethical opacity. He treats the result as not only philosophically incoherent…

Communitarian Politics and the Problem of Equality
Communitarian Politics and the Problem of Equality
Both liberals and communitarians grant normative weight to equality. To adjudicate their on-going debate, we need to clarify the meanings they attribute to that ambiguous concept. This paper analyzes a communitar ian conception of equality, and criticizes its practical implications. At the bottom of this account, we find a virtue-centered ethical theory that assumes citizens are equally interested in true human "flourishing." Communitarians defin…
The use and abuse of the past: Hobbes on the study of history
The use and abuse of the past: Hobbes on the study of history WILLIAM R. LUND I. Introduction Students of Hobbes have often argued that he regarded the discipline of history with some disdain. At least after an early humanist phase, which may or may not have influenced his later political theory, Hobbes turned to a rationalism in which history was rigidly distinguished from, and very un- favorably compared to, abstract reasoning.' He moved quickl…
