Can an opinion become a fact? On what grounds can a religious belief be publicly defended? Can science direct our public moral pursuits? What differentiates authority from expertise? Are justice and love compatible? What could distinguish a moral reason from one that is merely useful? Do human rights exist, and if they do, what are they? Can we answer any of these questions in our public declarations?The argument of The Deep Simple is that these kind of foundational questions can have no consensual answers until thoughtful persons agree to the meanings of the terms they use to ask them. And that is unlikely to happen because two great epistemological crises have scrambled the unexamined assumptions that persons bring to their declarations and the warrants they use to justify them. Three broad cultural traditions now contend for public approval as reliable guarantors of truth. The pre-modernist trusts authority and considers institutions formative, values beliefs as sources of public commitment, questions rational and moral agency, and embraces principles of subsidiarity. The modernist endorses universal reasoning applied to private experience, considers institutions informative and beliefs speculative, and endorses empirical science. The postmodernist doubts the universality of reason and elevates the privacy of experience, considers interactions with institutions to be performative opportunities to demonstrate independence, elevates the radical equality of belief, and seeks aesthetic validation of public policy. As these three streams twist and emulsify in popular culture, they stimulate a recourse to politicization of declarations, correctly identifying law as the final arbiter of public order in the absence of epistemological consensus. The Deep Simple closely examines the intellectual roots of this fraying of the social fabric, finding it in religious authoritarianism and political contractarianism, in empirical positivism and post-structuralist phenomenalism, from Aquinas to Foucault and from Hobbes to Rawls. Its reader is assumed to be the well-read generalist concerned about alternative facts and fake news and the endlessly deferred answer to the question of how to judge, or even consider, what lies between the true and the false and the true and the good in public life.It explores issues like these:--Where is the border between private belief and public knowledge, and how does a game of Clue help us distinguish justified knowledge from permissible beliefs?--Why must empirical science fail to provide public moral guidance, and how can its methodology assist us in finding what can?--How have the human sciences hindered the search for human rights?--What are the limits of expertise?--Why have institutions lost their power to promote public consensus?--Why is appropriateness an inadequate cultural standard and why is empathy an inadequate moral one?--How do Biblical narratives undercut their authoritarian axiom?--How do Thoreau and King's arguments for civil disobedience exemplify our epistemological confusion?--Why is social contract an inherently unjust foundation for democratic government?--Why are the positions of libertarians and egalitarians detrimental to moral consensus?--Why are love and justice the proper determinants of private and public moral pursuits?--Why is felt preferential freedom the inerrant source of human dignity and law?

One of the fundamental rights granted in the United States is religious freedom, but does this mean that religion should be entirely removed from politics or that all religious voices should be considered equally? The separation of church and state was established in the Constitution, but the fact that as of 2015, 84 percent of Americans hold some sort of religious belief means that this is easier said than done. Religious morality frequently colors debates surrounding various policy issues, ranging from reproductive rights to education. This volume exposes readers to the ways in which religion inflects policymaking and the varying perspectives about religion's role in politics.

In this rich collection of essays, editors Dale McConkey and Peter Augustine Lawler explore the contributions that religious faith and morality can make to a civil society. Though the level of religious expression has remained high in the United States, the shift from traditional religious beliefs to a far more individualized style of faith has led many to contend that no faith commitment, collective or personal, should contribute to the vibrancy of a civil democratic society. Challenging those who believe that the private realm is the only appropriate locus of religious belief, the contributors to this volume believe that religion can inform and invigorate the secular institutions of society such as education, economics, and politics. Drawn from a wide variety of religious and moral traditions, these diverse essays show, from many perspectives, the important contribution religion has to make in the public square that is civil society.

Most Americans are religious believers. Among these there is disagreement about many fundamental religious/moral matters. Because the United States is both such a religious country and such a religiously pluralistic country, the issue of the proper role of religion in politics is extremely important to political debate. In Religion in Politics, Michael Perry addresses a fundamental question: what role may religious arguments play, if any, either in public debate about what political choices to make or as a basis of political choice? He is principally concerned with political choices that ban or otherwise disfavor one or another sort of human conduct based on the view that the conduct is immoral. He divides the controversy into two debates: the constitutionally proper role of religious arguments in politics, and a related, but distinct, debate about the morally proper role. Perry concludes that political choices about the morality of human conduct should not be based on religion. The newest work by one of the most important constitutional theorists writing today, Religion in Politics is sure to spark a new debate on the subject.

"Academics have long claimed that the relationship between religion and science concerns knowledge of the physical world, and that conflict ensues because religion has one way of knowing and science another. For example, it is claimed that to find the age of the Earth religious people look to holy scripture and scientists look at the age of rocks. This book shows that this is indeed true among the elites who focus on this debate. However, contrary to the assumptions of elites and public discourse in general, that same relationship and conflict does not exist between religious citizens and science. This book shows that regular religious people in the U.S. are at most in conflict over a few fact claims with science, and that this limited conflict does not lead to conflict with scientific claims writ large. More importantly, American religion has changed since the 1960s, de-emphasizing knowledge claims about the physical world, and becoming more focused on social relationships and thus morality. This book shows that any religion and science debate in the public is not about scientific claims about nature, such as the age of the Earth, but rather about morality - and opposition to the morality implicitly promoted by scientists"--Provided by publisher.
