It defends bold new accounts of the nature of autonomy and individual liberty, the content of distributive justice, and the justification for the authority of the State. The theory that emerges integrates contemporary progressive and pluralistic liberalism into a broadly Aristotelian intellectual tradition. The early chapters of the book challenge the traditional conservative idea of individual liberty?the liberty to dispose of one?s property as one wishes?and replace it with a new one, according to which liberty is of equal value to all persons, regardless of economic position. The middle chapters present an original theory of socio-economic justice, arguing that a society in which every citizen enjoys an equal share of liberty should be the distributive goal of the State. It is argued that this goal is incompatible with the existence of large disparities in wealth and economic power, and that (contra conservative and libertarian economic arguments) such disparities are harmful to the overall health of national and global economies. The final chapters provide an original argument that the State has both a moral duty and a moral right to pursue this program of socio-economic justice (contra conservative and libertarian moral arguments), and that only the measures necessary to implement this program lie within the morally justifiable limits on the State?s authority. Though primarily a political work, it spans most areas of practical philosophy?including ethical, social, and legal theory; and meta-ethics, moral psychology, and action theory. And though fundamentally a philosophical work, it incorporates research from a number of fields?including decision theory, economics, political science, and jurisprudence; primatology, neuroscience, and psychology; and history, anthropology, sociology, and ecology?and is sure to be of interest to a wide range of scholars and students. 606 $aPolitical philosophy 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aPolitical theory 606 $aLaw?Philosophy 606 $aLaw 606 $aPolitical Philosophy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E37000 606 $aSocial Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34020 606 $aPolitical Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911010 606 $aTheories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R11011 615 0$aPolitical philosophy. 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 0$aPolitical theory. 615 0$aLaw?Philosophy. 615 0$aLaw. 615 14$aPolitical Philosophy. 615 24$aSocial Policy. 615 24$aPolitical Theory. 615 24$aTheories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal History. 676 $a100 700 $aSherman$b James A$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$091103 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255356903321 996 $aRenewing Liberalism$92518868 997 $aUNINA
