Tribespeople, Idiots, or Citizens? Religious Liberty and the Reforging of American Public Philosophy.

Guiness, Os

Social Education, v54 n5 p278-86 Sep 1990

Examines the current relationship between religious liberty and U.S. democracy. Presents a proposal to reforge the U.S. public philosophy according to the notion of chartered pluralism that celebrates the diversity embodied in the First Amendment. Ties this to the conflict between communitarianism and libertarianism. (DB)
