For the DRR tells us that, if a citizen is trying to determine whether or not
she should support some coercive law, and if she believes that there is no
plausible secular rationale for that law, then she may not support it.


RELIGION AND POLITICS

Download Citation on ResearchGate | Democracy and Tradition | Do Drawing
inspiration from Whitman, Dewey, and Ellison, Jeffrey Stout sketches the proper
role of religious discourse in a democracy. . Conference Paper. I read Democracy
and Tradition as, in part, Jeff Stout like a jazz inventor of the essay -
measure for measure, conversational, improvisa- tional single-spaced pages on
undergraduate and graduate papers is just one.

The DRR is a negative constraint; it identifies a kind of reason that cannot
itself justify a coercive law and so a kind of reason on which citizens may not
exclusively rely when supporting a coercive law. But this negative constraint is
typically conjoined with a permission: although citizens may not support
coercive laws for which they believe themselves to have only a religious
rationale, they may support coercive laws for which they believe there is only a
plausible secular rationale. As we'll see in a moment, advocates of the DRR
furnish reasons to believe that religious and secular reasons have this
asymmetrical justificatory role.

The standard view has often been misunderstood, typically by associating the DRR
with claims its advocates are free to deny. It will therefore be helpful to
dissociate the DRR from various common misunderstandings. First, the DRR is a
moral constraint, one that applies to people in virtue of the fact that they are
citizens of a liberal democracy. As such, it need not be encoded into law,
enforced by state coercion or social stigma, promoted in state educational
institutions, or in any other way policed by the powers that be.

Of course, advocates of restraint are free to argue that the state should police
violations of the DRR see Habermas , But advocates of the standard view needn't
endorse restrictions of this sort. Second, the DRR does not require a
thorough-going privatization of religious commitment. Indeed, the DRR permits
religious considerations to play a rather prominent role in a citizen's
political practice: citizens are permitted to vote for their favored coercive
policies on exclusively religious grounds as well as to advocate publicly for
those policies on religious grounds.


SECULARISM ESSAY - WORDS | BARTLEBY

What the DRR does require of citizens is that they reasonably believe that they
have some plausible secular rationale for each of the coercive laws that they
support, which they are prepared to offer in political discussion. In this
respect, the present construal of the DRR is weaker than comparable proposals,
such as that developed by Robert Audi, which requires that each citizen have and
be motivated by some evidentially adequate secular rationale for each of the
coercive laws he or she supports see Audi , and Rawls , ff.

Third, the DRR places few restrictions on the content of the secular reasons to
which citizens can appeal when supporting coercive laws. That having been said,
it is worth stressing that some prominent advocates of the standard view adopt a
broadly Rawlsian account of the DRR, according to which coercive laws must be
justified by appeal to public reason see Gutmann and Thompson , Larmore , Macedo
, and Nussbaum We shall have more to say about this view in section 6.

Fourth, the DRR itself has no determinate policy implications; it is a
constraint not on legislation itself, but on the configuration of reasons to
which agents may appeal when supporting coercive legislation. So, for example,
it forbids Rick to support the criminalization of homosexuality when he believes
that there are no plausible secular reasons to criminalize it. As such, the
moral propriety of the DRR has nothing directly to do with its usefulness in
furthering, or discouraging, particular policy aims.

The DRR, then, is a norm that is supposed to provide guidance for how citizens
of a liberal democracy should conduct themselves when deliberating about or
deciding on the implementation of coercive laws. For our purposes, it will be
helpful to work with a canonical formulation of it.

Let us, then, formulate the DRR as follows:. About this formulation of the DRR,
let us make two points. For present purposes, we will simply assume that a
plausible rationale is one that epistemically and morally competent peers will
take seriously as a basis for supporting a coercive law. Second, according to
this formulation of the DRR, a citizen can comply with the DRR even if he
himself is not persuaded to support a coercive law for any secular reason. What
matters is that he believes that he has and can offer a secular rationale that
his secular cohorts can take seriously. Suppose, then, we have an adequate
working conception of the DRR.

The question naturally arises: Why do advocates of the standard view maintain
that we should conform to the DRR? For several reasons, most prominent of which
are the following three arguments. Of course, there are many more arguments for
the DRR than we can address here. See, for example, Andrew Lister's appeal to
the value of political community Advocates of the standard view sometimes
commend the DRR on the grounds that conforming to it will help prevent religious
warfare and civil strife.

The concern expressed here, presumably, is this: for all we reasonably believe,
citizens who are willing to coerce their compatriots for religious reasons will
use their political power to advance their sectarian agenda—using the power of
the state to persecute heretics, impose orthodoxy, and enact stringent morals
laws. In so doing, these citizens will thereby provoke determined resistance and
civil conflict.


VASTGOED MET AMBITIE

In a republic, a just legal order and a virtuous citizenry are interdependent.
Great Expectations By: Scott Walter Weigel hopes to inspire youthful souls
toward a way of life far more erotic and rational. The traditional republican
names for such security are liberty and freedom. Stout proclaims his commitment
to truth, hence, to a defensible "ethics without metaphysics. However,
secularization and secularism can be understood in two different ways. The
Dysfunction of Ritual in Early Confucianism. The laws neither make nor enforce
themselves, but need help from citizens. University of Notre Dame" james rated
it really liked. And very important contribution to the discussion of these
problems. It is claimed, for example, that the state should remain neutral among
religions because it is unfair—especially for a democratic government that is
supposed to represent all of the people composing its demos —to intentionally
disadvantage or unequally favor jeffrey stout democracy and tradition essay
papers group of citizens in their pursuit of the good as they understand it,
religious or otherwise Rawls, Murphy Foundation Professor of Law and Professor
of Theology, University of Notre Dame "Stout has done more than any other writer
to bring to our attention the problems facing democracy due to our inability to
talk things over with religious believers.

Such a state of affairs, however, threatens the very viability of a liberal
democracy and, so, should be avoided at nearly all costs. Accordingly, religious
believers should exercise restraint when deliberating about the implementation
of coercive laws. Exercising restraint, however, is best accomplished by
adhering to the DRR. According to the liberal critics of the standard view,
there are several problems with this argument. First, the liberal critics
contend, while there may have been a genuine threat of confessional warfare in
17 th century Western Europe, there is little reason to believe that there is
any such threat in stable liberal democracies such as the United States.


DEMOCRACY AND THE POLITICS OF THE WORD

Why not? Because confessional conflict, the liberal critics continue, is
typically rooted in egregious violations of the right to religious freedom,
when, for example, people are jailed, tortured, or otherwise abused because of
their religious commitments. John Locke puts the point thus:. If Locke is
correct, then what we need to prevent confessional conflict is not compliance
with a norm such as the DRR, but firm commitment to the right to religious
freedom. A stable liberal democracy such as the United States is, however, fully
committed to protecting the right to religious freedom—and will be for the
foreseeable future.

True enough, there are passionately felt disagreements about how to interpret
the right to religious freedom: witness recent conflicts as to whether or not
the right to religious freedom should be understood to include the right of
religious objectors to be exempted from generally justified state policies See
Koppelman ; Leiter But it is difficult to see, the liberal critics claim, that
there is a realistic prospect of these disagreements devolving into violent
civil conflict. Second, even if there were a realistic prospect of religious
conflict, liberal critics claim that it is unclear that adhering to the DRR
would lower the probability that such a conflict would occur.

After all, the trigger for religious war—typically, the violation of the right
to religious freedom—is not always, or even typically, justified by exclusively
religious considerations. As historian Michael Burleigh has argued, secularists
have a long history of hostility to the right to religious freedom and,
presumably, that hostility isn't at all grounded in religious considerations
Burleigh , and, more generally, Burleigh Third, the liberal critics maintain,
when religious believers have employed coercive power to violate the right to
religious freedom, they themselves rarely have done so in a way that violates
the DRR.

Typically, when such rights have been violated, the justifications offered, even
by religious believers, appeal to alleged requirements for social order, such as
the need for uniformity of belief on basic normative issues. Ordinarily, the
kind of religious persecution that engenders religious conflict is legitimated
by appeal to secular reasons of the sort mandated by the DRR. This is the case
even when religious actors are the ones who appeal to those secular reasons.

Finally, liberal critics point out that some religious believers affirm the
right to religious freedom on religious grounds; they take themselves to have
powerful religious reason to affirm the right of each person to worship as she
freely chooses, absent state coercion. I preach my faith and want every man to
join it.


AN ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PHILOSOPHY ARTICLES WRITTEN BY PROFESSIONAL PHILOSOPHERS.

But I want him to join it of his own free will. For Mar Aba's 'sectarian
rationale' supports not the violation of religious freedom but its protection.
If the liberal critics are correct, one of the problems with the argument from
warfare is that there is no realistic prospect of religious warfare breaking out
in a stable liberal democracy such as the United States. Still, there may be
other evils that are more likely to occur under current conditions, which
compliance with the DRR might help to prevent.

This in turn breeds division between citizens—anger and distrust between
citizens who have to find some amicable way to make collective decisions about
common matters. This counts in favor of the DRR precisely because compliance
with the DRR diminishes the likelihood of our suffering from such bad
consequences. To this argument, liberal critics offer a three-part reply.

First, suppose it is true that the implementation of coercive laws that can be
justified only on religious grounds often causes frustration and anger among
both secular and religious citizens. The liberal critics maintain that there is
reason to believe that compliance with the DRR would also engender frustration
and anger among other religious and secular citizens. To this end, they point to
the fact that many religious believers believe that conforming to the DRR would
compromise their loyalty to God: if they were prohibited from supporting
coercive laws for which they take there to be strong but exclusively religious
reasons to support, they would naturally take themselves to be prohibited from
obeying God.

But for many religious believers this is distressing; they take themselves to
have overriding moral and religious obligations to obey God. Similarly, some
secular citizens will likely be frustrated by the requirement that the DRR
places on religious citizens.

According to these secular citizens, all citizens have the right to make
political decisions as their conscience dictates. And, on some occasions, these
secular citizens hold that exercising that right will lead religious citizens to
violate the DRR. If this is correct, for the argument from divisiveness to
succeed, it would have to provide reason to believe that the level of
frustration and anger that would be produced by violating the DRR would be
greater than that of conforming to the DRR.

But, the liberal critics claim, it is doubtful that we have any such reason: in
a very religious society such as the United States, it might be the case that
restrictions on the political practice of religious believers engenders at least
as much frustration as the alternative. Second, the liberal critics argue, there
is reason to believe that conformance to the DRR would only marginally alleviate
the frustration that some citizens feel when confronted with religious reasons
in public political debate.

The DRR, after all, does not forbid citizens from supporting coercive laws on
religious grounds, nor does it forbid citizens to articulate religious arguments
in public. Furthermore, complying with the DRR does not prevent religious
citizens from advocating their favored laws in bigoted, inflammatory, or
obnoxious manners; it has nothing to say about political decorum.

So, for example, because the DRR doesn't forbid citizens from helping themselves
to inflammatory or demeaning rhetoric in political argument, the anger and
resentment engendered by such rhetoric does not constitute evidence for or
against the DRR. Third, the liberal critics contend that because most of the
laws that have a chance of enactment in a society as pluralistic as the United
States will have both religious and secular grounds, it will almost never be the
case that any of the actual frustration caused by the public presence of
religion supports the DRR.

Given that the DRR requires not a complete but only a limited privatization of
religious belief, very little of the frustration and anger apparently engendered
by the public presence of religion counts in favor of the DRR. To which it is
worth adding the following point: advocates of the standard view could, with
Rorty , adopt a more demanding conception of the DRR that requires the complete
privatization of religious belief. But, as many advocates of the standard view
itself maintain, it is doubtful that this move improves the argument's
prospects. The complete privatization of religion is much more objectionable to
religious citizens and, thus, more likely to create social foment.

Rorty, it should be noted, softened his approach on this issue. See Rorty There
are no doubt other factors that need to be taken into consideration in the
calculation required to formulate the argument from divisiveness. But, the
liberal critics maintain, it is unclear how those disparate factors would add
up. In particular, if the liberal critics are correct, it is not clear whether
requiring citizens to obey the DRR would result in less overall frustration,
anger, and division than would not requiring them to do so.

The issues at stake are empirical in character and the relevant empirical facts
are not known. The third and most prominent argument for the DRR is the argument
from respect. Here we focus on only one formulation of the argument, which has
affinities with a version of the argument offered by Charles Larmore see Larmore
However, on the assumption that the antecedent to premise 4 is true—that there
are cases in which the state must coerce—it follows given a few other
assumptions that:.

That is, the DRR follows from a constraint on what makes for the moral
legitimacy of state coercion—viz. The argument from respect has received its
fair share of criticism from liberal critics. Perhaps the most troubling of
these criticisms is that the argument undermines the legitimacy of basic liberal
commitments. To appreciate the thrust of this objection, focus for a moment on
the notion being a coercive law that is justified to an agent , to which the
argument appeals.

How should we understand this concept? One natural suggestion is this:. Now
consider a coercive law that protects fundamental liberal commitments, such as
the right to exercise religious freedom. Is this law justified to each citizen
of a liberal democracy? Liberal critics answer: no. For there appear to be
reasonable citizens who have no good reason from their own perspective to affirm
it. Consider, for example, a figure such as the Islamic intellectual Sayyid
Qutb.

While in prison, Qutb wrote an intelligent, informed, and morally serious
commentary on the Koran in which he laid the ills of modern society at the feet
of Christianity and liberal democracy. In short, Qutb articulates what is, from
his point of view, a compelling theological rationale against any law that
authorizes the state to protect a robust right to religious freedom.

If respect for persons requires that each coercive law be justified to those
reasonable persons subject to that law, and if a person such as Qutb were a
citizen of a liberal democracy, then the argument from respect implies that laws
that protect the right to religious freedom are morally illegitimate, as they
lack moral justification—at least for agents such as Qutb.

How To Write A Research Paper! (8 simple steps)


Facebook Instagram Youtube. Somewhere in the assignment that your professor
handed out you will find a basic idea of what your research paper writing is
supposed to be about. First, before you start to write, you have to decide what
you want your essay to be about. Selecting a research paper topic may be the
most important part of the entire writing process. Think about several different
ideas before deciding on a final one. Some things to consider before you make a
selection include if there are enough sources to research surrounding the topic,
if it is something recent enough that will be appealing to read, and if you will
be able to find enough facts to support your findings.

When going through the research topic decision process, you want to take into
consideration many different factors.

First of all, if you can pick to write about something that is important to you,
do it. Your excitement and energy are more likely to come through in a paper
that you are writing because you want to versus one that you write because you
have to. Second, try not to pick a general idea that everyone is going to write
about or one that has already been written several times over. You want
something that is going to stand out. This is how you are going to make an
impression on your instructor and grab his or her attention. These avenues may
be just what you need to stir up your imagination enough to come up with the
perfect topic.

Research is an essential part of writing an essay that can be viewed as academic
whether in the subject of English, science, history, or any other area. You
cannot just sit down and start writing without having any facts or details to
back up what you have come up with. There are several different avenues to look
at. Even though it is easy to just sit down at the computer and look for all
your information there, remember there are other ways to get sources.
