{"product_id":"critical-moral-liberalism","title":"Critical Moral Liberalism","description":"In this important book, Jeffrey Reiman responds to recent assaults on liberal theory by proposing a \"critical moral liberalism.\" It is \u003ci\u003eliberal\u003c\/i\u003e in maintaining the emphasis of classical liberalism on individual freedom, \u003ci\u003emoral\u003c\/i\u003e in adhering to a distinctive vision of the good life rather than professing neutrality, and \u003ci\u003ecritical\u003c\/i\u003e in taking seriously the objection-raised by feminists and Marxists, among others-that liberal theories often serve as ideological cover for oppression of one group by others. Critical moral liberalism has a conception of ideology, and resources for testing the suspicion that arrangements that look free are really oppressive. Reiman sets forth the basic arguments for the liberal moral obligation to maximize people's ability to govern their own lives, and for the conception of the good life that goes with this. He considers and answers objections to the liberal project, and defends liberal conceptions of privacy, moral virtue, economic justice, and Constitutional interpretation. Reiman then takes up specific policy issues, among them abortion, infanticide, euthanasia, moral education, capital punishment, and threats to privacy from modern information technology. \u003ci\u003eCritical Moral Liberalism\u003c\/i\u003e will be of interest to scholars and students of ethics, social and political philosophy, political theory, and public policy.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54236502032728,"sku":"9780847683130","price":142.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780847683130_6ec57993-1430-4b48-b7d9-7dcf7caa2bb5.jpg?v=1769699714","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/critical-moral-liberalism","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
