Description: The Common Good of Constitutional Democracy offers a rich collection of essays in political philosophy by Swiss philosopher Martin Rhonheimer. Like his other books in both ethical theory and applied ethics, which have recently been published in English, the essays included are distinguished by the philosophical rigor and meticulous attention to the primary and secondary literature of the various topics discussed.
Review Quotes: "The Common Good of Constitutional Democracy is a tour de force in Catholic practical philosophy. Rhonheimer aptly blends philosophy and theology in a way commended by Blessed John Paul II who argued in his 1998 encyclical Fides et Ratio that the best (Christian) theorizing takes place when theological insights are developed from sound philosophical orientations."--Greg Walker, Journal of Markets & Morality
