Taking Rites Seriously is about how religious beliefs and religious
believers are assessed by judges and legal scholars and are
sometimes mischaracterized and misunderstood by those who are
critical of the influence of religion in politics or in the
formation of law. Covering three general topics - reason and
motive, dignity and personhood, nature and sex - philosopher and
legal theorist Francis J. Beckwith carefully addresses several
contentious legal and cultural questions over which religious and
non-religious citizens often disagree: the rationality of religious
belief, religiously motivated legislation, human dignity in
bioethics, abortion and embryonic stem cell research, reproductive
rights and religious liberty, evolutionary theory, and the nature
of marriage. In the process, he responds to some well-known critics
of public faith - including Brian Leiter, Steven Pinker, Suzanna
Sherry, Ronald Dworkin, John Rawls, and Richard Dawkins - as well
as to some religiously conservative critics of secularism, such as
the advocates for intelligent design.
