Love and Power: The Role of Morality and Religion in American Politics

In this sequel to his Morality, Politics, and Law, Michael Perry addresses the proper relation of moral convictions to the politics of a morally pluralistic society. While his analysis focuses on religious morality, Perry's argument applies to morality generally. Contending that no justification of a contested political choice can be neutral among competing conceptions of human good, the author develops an ideal of "ecumenical politics" in which moral convictions about human good can be brought to bear in a productive way in political argument.Perry, Michael J. is the author of 'Love and Power: The Role of Morality and Religion in American Politics' with ISBN 9780195068603 and ISBN 0195068602.
