Description

This book expands the idea of practical liberalism by exploring how a theory of civil association premised upon prudential argument can remain stable through time. The work initially explores the relation between politics and morality and demonstrates how it is possible to craft a theory of social justice that can (and not merely should) command the attention of all groups present in a pluralist polity.  The argument then moves to a consideration of how the resultant notion of social justice can support a civic nationalism capable of uniting the diverse elements of the polity into a coherent polity.
