I Think Very Often When We Think

Democracy Does Not Require Perfect Equality, But It Does Require That Citizens Share In A Common Life.

I Do Think It Is Very Important That The Religious Communities Do Try To Bring Their Teachings And Their Insights To Bear On The Stem Cell Debate And On The Debate About Genetic Engineering.

A Market Economy Is A Tool - A Valuable And Effective Tool - For Organizing Productive Activity. A Market Society Is A Way Of Life In Which Market Values Seep Into Every Aspect Of Human Endeavour. It's A Place Where Social Relations Are Made Over In The Image Of The Market.

Democracy Does Not Require Perfect Equality, But It Does Require That Citizens Share A Common Life. What Matters Is That People Of Different Backgrounds And Social Positions Encounter One Another, And Bump Up Against One Another, In The Course Of Ordinary Life.

There Is A Tendency To Think That If We Engage Too Directly With Moral Questions In Politics, That's A Recipe For Disagreement, And For That Matter, A Recipe For Intolerance And Coercion.
