Description: Debating Democracy's Discontent by Anita L. Allen, Milton C. Regan A critique of Michael Sandels "Democracys Discontent". Sandels liberal and feminist critics square off with his communitarian and civic republican sympathizers in a lively and wide-ranging discussion spanning constitutional law, culture, and political economy. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In this timely and provocative volume, some of the worlds leading political and constitutional theorists come together to debate Michael Sandels celebrated thesis that the United States is in the the grip of a flawed public philosophy - "procedural liberalism". Beginning with an original stage-setting introduction by Ronald Beiner, and ending with a reply by Michael Sandel, Sandels liberal and feminist critics square off with his communitarian and civicrepublican sympathizers in a lively and wide-ranging discussion spanning constitutional law, culture, and political economy. Practical, topical issues of immigration, gay marriage, federalism, adoption,abortion, corporate speech, militias, and economic disparity are debated alongside theories of civic virtue, citizenship, identity, and community. Not only does this volume provide the most comprehensive and insightful critique of Sandels Democracys Discontent to date - it also makes a very significant, substantive contribution to contemporary political and legal philosophy in its own right. It will prove essential reading for all those interested in the future of Americanpolitics, law, and public philosophy. Author Biography Anita L.
