Western moral and political theory in the last two centuries has
widely held that morality and politics are independent of a divine
reality. Claiming that this consensus is flawed, prominent
theologian Franklin I. Gamwell argues that there is a necessary
relation between moral worth and belief in God. Without appealing
to the beliefs of any specific religion, Gamwell defends a return
to the view that moral and political principles depend on a divine
purpose. To separate politics from the divine misrepresents the
distinctive character of human freedom, Gamwell maintains, and thus
prevents a full understanding of the nature of justice. Principles
of justice define "democracy on purpose" as the political form in
which we pursue the divine good. Engaging in a dialogue with such
major representatives of the dominant consensus as Kant, Habermas,
and Rawls, and informed by the philosophical writings of Alfred
North Whitehead, this book makes the case for a neoclassical
metaphysics that restores a religious sensibility to our political
life.
