Summary

In this volume, some of the world's leading political and constitutional theorists come together to debate Michael Sandel's celebrated thesis that the United States is in the grip of a flawed public philosophy - "procedural liberalism." Practical, topical issues of immigration, gay marriage, federalism, adoption, abortion, corporate speech, militias, and economic disparity are debated alongside theories of civic virtue, citizenship, identity, pluralism, and community. This volume will prove essential reading for all those interested in the future of American politics, law, and public philosophy.
