Religious Commitment and Secular Reason
Religious Commitment and Secular Reason

Balancing faith with democratic secular society.

If you're feeling the tension between your personal beliefs and the broader secular world, Robert Audi's thoughtful exploration could offer you a road map to reconciling the two. It's an insightful read that delves into how we can maintain our religious integrity while engaging with a pluralistic society. Particularly, if you're interested in the interplay of politics and personal belief systems, this book could provide a nuanced perspective that acknowledges the importance of both.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Many religious people are alarmed about features of the current age--violence in the media, a pervasive hedonism, a marginalization of religion, and widespread abortion. These concerns influence politics, but just as there should be a separation between church and state, so should there be a balance between religious commitments and secular arguments calling for social reforms. Robert Audi offers a principle of secular rationale, which does not exclude religious grounds for action but which rules out restricting freedom except on grounds that any rational citizen would accept. This book describes the essential commitments of free democracy, explains how religious and secular moral considerations can be integrated to facilitate cooperation in a world of religious pluralism, and proposes ideals of civic virtue that express the mutual respect on which democracy depends.
