Description:... "Religious Goodness and Political Rightness" offers a stimulating, timely examination of the liberal and communitarian approaches to the conflicts between people's religious ideas of the Good and their political ideas of the Right. Coming from a non-partisan perspective, Huang argues that liberalism fails to see that politics cannot be neutral to all religions by equally ignoring them all, while communitarianism fails to understand that politics based on one single religion may lead either to political sectarianism or totalitarianism in a religiously plural society.
