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?

This new collection of essays opens with a pivotal essay, not previously published, on the implications of the moral duties which arise out of concern for the well-being of others. The first part of the book concentrates on the consequences of two central aspects of well-being: the importance of membership in groups - the role of belonging - and the active character of well-being - that it largely consists in successful activities. Both aspects have far-reaching political implications, explored in essays on free expression, national self-determination, and multiculturalism, among others. Against the background of the moral and political views developed in the first part, the second part of the book explores various aspects of the dynamic inter-relations between law and morality, offering some building blocks towards a theory of law.

This book explores the morality of compromising. The author argues that peace and public justification are values that provide moral reasons to make compromises in politics, including compromises that establish unjust laws or institutions. He explains how it is possible to have moral reasons to agree to moral compromises and he debates our moral duties and obligations in making such compromises. The book also contains discussions of the sources of the value of public justification, the relation between peace and justice, the nature of modus vivendi arrangements and the connections between compromise, liberal institutions and legitimacy. In exploring the morality of compromising, the book thus provides some outlines for a map of political morality beyond justice.
