With "The Moral Foundation of Democracy, " John H. Hallowell makes
a significant argument in favor of the importance of moral values
in the orderly functioning of modern democracies. Hallowell begins
with a survey of the role that classical liberalism and faith in
man as a reasonable, moral, and spiritual actor played in the
emergence of democratic self-government. He sharply criticizes
positivist thought and moral relativism as direct challenges to the
notion that transcendent truths guide individuals in their actions
and influence how people participate in a democratic society.
Hallowell reminds us that at its core, a well-functioning democracy
must be based on a fundamental respect for the dignity of the
individual.
John H. Hallowell taught political science for forty years at Duke
University and was chair of the department from 1964 to 1971. He
died in 1991. In addition to this work, Hallowell also wrote "The
Decline of Liberalism as an Ideology" (1943) and "Main Currents in
Modern Political Thought" (1950).
