Opis

This book develops a winsome and confident understanding of political and social liberalism while exploring issues in ethics, law, and politics - including consumer responsibility, deception by lawyers, war and empire, and the use of victim-impact statements in parole decisions - in light of a rich understanding of fulfilment and flourishing.

Recenzje

'… a pleasure to read and a stimulating occasion for one's own reflections … I doubt that many liberals will be persuaded to embrace natural law as a result of reading the book or that many traditional natural lawyers will be moved to endorse Chartier's radical liberalism, but all will be better for the intellectual workout, and many of Chartier's particular arguments deserve a hearing.' V. Bradley Lewis, Ethics
