In this important book, Jeffrey Reiman responds to recent assaults
on liberal theory by proposing a "critical moral liberalism." It is
liberal in maintaining the emphasis of classical liberalism on
individual freedom, moral in adhering to a distinctive vision of
the good life rather than professing neutrality, and critical in
taking seriously the objection-raised by feminists and Marxists,
among others-that liberal theories often serve as ideological cover
for oppression of one group by others. Critical moral liberalism
has a conception of ideology, and resources for testing the
suspicion that arrangements that look free are really oppressive.
Reiman sets forth the basic arguments for the liberal moral
obligation to maximize people's ability to govern their own lives,
and for the conception of the good life that goes with this. He
considers and answers objections to the liberal project, and
defends liberal conceptions of privacy, moral virtue, economic
justice, and Constitutional interpretation. Reiman then takes up
specific policy issues, among them abortion, infanticide,
euthanasia, moral education, capital punishment, and threats to
privacy from modern information technology. Critical Moral
Liberalism will be of interest to scholars and students of ethics,
social and political philosophy, political theory, and public
policy.
