Pointing to the polarization that surrounds disputes like Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, David argues that such cases need not involve pitting flesh-and-blood individuals against the rights of so-called ?corporate moral persons.? Instead, David proposes that such disputes should be resolved by attending to the moral quality of group actions. This approach shifts attention away from polarizing rights-talk and towards the virtues required for thriving civic communities. More radically, however, this approach suggests that groups themselves should not be viewed as things or ?persons? in the first instance, but rather as occasions of coordinated activity. Discerned in the writings of Saint Thomas Aquinas, this reconceptualization helps illuminate the moral stakes of a novel?and controversial?form of religious freedom. . 410 0$aPalgrave Frontiers in Philosophy of Religion,$x2634-6176 606 $aFreedom of religion$zUnited States 615 0$aFreedom of religion 676 $a342.730852 700 $aDavid$b Edward A$g(Edward Anthony),$042209 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910420923403321 996 $aA Christian approach to corporate religious liberty$92034071 997 $aUNINA
