Must we put passions aside when we deliberate about justice? Can we
do so? The dominant views of deliberation rightly emphasize the
importance of impartiality as a cornerstone of fair decision
making, but they wrongly assume that impartiality means being
disengaged and passionless. In Civil Passions, Sharon Krause argues
that moral and political deliberation must incorporate passions,
even as she insists on the value of impartiality. Drawing on
resources ranging from Hume's theory of moral sentiment to recent
findings in neuroscience, Civil Passions breaks new ground by
providing a systematic account of how passions can generate an
impartial standpoint that yields binding and compelling conclusions
in politics. Krause shows that the path to genuinely impartial
justice in the public sphere--and ultimately to social change and
political reform--runs through moral sentiment properly construed.
This new account of affective but impartial judgment calls for a
politics of liberal rights and democratic contestation, and it
requires us to reconceive the meaning of public reason, the nature
of sound deliberation, and the authority of law. By illuminating
how impartiality feels, Civil Passions offers not only a truer
account of how we deliberate about justice, but one that promises
to engage citizens more effectively in acting for justice.
