Covering three general topics - reason and motive, dignity and personhood, nature and sex - philosopher and legal theorist Francis J. Beckwith carefully addresses several contentious legal and cultural questions over which religious and non-religious citizens often disagree: the rationality of religious belief, religiously motivated legislation, human dignity in bioethics, abortion and embryonic stem cell research, reproductive rights and religious liberty, evolutionary theory, and the nature of marriage. In the process, he responds to some well-known critics of public faith - including Brian Leiter, Steven Pinker, Suzanna Sherry, Ronald Dworkin, John Rawls, and Richard Dawkins - as well as to some religiously conservative critics of secularism, such as the advocates for intelligent design. -- Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Religion and law. 650 0 $a Religion and politics. 650 0 $a Religious ethics. 650 0 $a Faith and reason. 650 7 $a Faith and reason. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00919959 650 7 $a Religion and law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01093835 650 7 $a Religion and politics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01093842 650 7 $a Religious ethics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01094052 650 7 $a Glaube $2 gnd 650 7 $a Rechtsprechung $2 gnd 650 7 $a Religion $2 gnd 650 7 $a Politik $2 gnd 941 $a 2 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20240525041357.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210022751.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6EA6267E4A8111E7A5A8299FDAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IOOInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
