A Discussion of Richard Flacks and Nelson Lichtenstein's The Port Huron Statement
The Port Huron Statement was one of the most important manifestos of the New Left in the United States. A foundational statement of the theme of “participatory democracy,” the text had an important influence on post-1960s politics and, arguably, on post-1960s political science. The recent publication of a new edition of the Statement is an occasion for reflection on its importance. And so we have invited a distinguished cast of political scientis…
Jean Elshtain on Families and Politics
Jean Elshtain's writings on feminism, families, and politics were both profoundly important to the development of feminist theory and, at times, deeply puzzling. Elshtain engaged with central texts of western political thought in ways that enabled and encouraged others to think through what it would mean to take women's lives seriously in all their ambiguity and complexity
Involuntary Childlessness, Reproductive Technology, and Social Justice
The past thirty years have witnessed a steady rise in the demand for treatment of infertility, including the use of in vitro fertilization and third‐party eggs and sperm. The high cost of these procedures (in the tens of thousands of dollars) has led many people concerned about the attendant unfair consequences of economic inequality (the limitation of less well‐off people’s chances of having children) to propose mandatory insurance coverage of i…

Reflections on Iris Marion Young's Justice and the Politics of Difference
In this brief contribution, we highlight some of the ways Iris Marion Young's Justice and the Politics of Difference has served as both a touchstone and a challenge to feminist political theorists struggling to deal with the complexities of “equality” and community. We look briefly at three seemingly different cases, showing how Young's critique of impartiality in this book helps to illuminate what is wrong with the recent Supreme Court decision …
Just Marriage
From the ground breaking legal decisions on gay marriage to the promotion of marriage for low-income families, the “sacred institution” of marriage has turned into a public battleground. Who should be allowed to marry and is marriage a public or private act? Should marriage be abandoned completely? Or should marriage be redefined as a civil institution that promotes sexual and racial equality? As the fierce national debate over same-sex marriage …

Collaboration and Commodification in Assisted Procreation
The practices through which American society regulates the transfer of human gametes (eggs and sperm) reflects and shapes our understanding of our relationship to our genetic materials. The ways in which we think about and justify these practices engages important themes of liberal political theory and law: the understanding of individuals as autonomous or defined (at least in part) by relationships that entail dependence and care; the meaning of…

Liberalism and the Future of Democracy
Relational Rights and Responsibilities
This article discusses three main orientations in recent works of legal and political theory about the family—contract-based, community-based, and rights-based—and argues that none of these takes adequate account of two paradoxical features of family life and of the family's relationship to the state. A coherent political and legal theory of the family in the contemporary United States requires recognition of the relational rights and responsibil…

Fathers' Rights, Mothers' Wrongs? Reflections on Unwed Fathers' Rights and Sex Equality
This article examines arguments concerning the right of an unwed biological father to consent to the adoption of his offspring, and to take custody of the child even against the mother's wishes. The understanding of gender-neutrality that supposedly supports many such arguments is false, and risks diminishing women's decision-making authority under the guise of sex equality. Laws governing unwed parent's rights must emphasize the centrality of pa…

Marriage Contract and Social Contract in Seventeenth Century English Political Thought
SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY English Liberal political theory asserted that human beings were free and equal in the state of nature. But in the everyday experience of seventeenth-century Englishmen, the vast majority of social relationships took place between persons who believed themselves to be unequal. Indeed, well-born and lowly alike thought that hierarchy in human relationships was essential to the maintenance of social order: magistrate must rule o…
II. Marital Slavery and Friendship
OHN STUART MILL'S ESSAY The Subjection of Women was one of the nineteenth century's strongest pleas for opening to women opportunities for suffrage, education, and employment. Some contemporary feminists, however, have denigrated the work, questioning the efficacy of merely striking down legal barriers against women as the way to establish equality between the sexes. These contemporary critics argue that Mill's failure to extend his critique of i…

Miguel de Unamuno
The role of death in relation to politics has been largely neglected by political philosophers. Yet it has an important place in political theory as Mary Lyndon Shanley demonstrates in her analysis of the thought of the Spanish writer, poet, and philosopher, Miguel de Unamuno, whose apparent political inconsistency has been perplexing to students of his work. It is Shanley's position that Unamuno's political activity cannot be explained in terms …
