What is the proper relation of moral and religious beliefs to politics and law, especially in a society that, like the United States, is morally and religiously pluralistic? In addressing this crucial question, the author, a constitutional theorist, considers a number of fundamental issues, including the nature of morality, of human good, and the validity of liberal political philosophy. Perry defends the vision of constitutional interpretation that has recently been attacked by Attorney General Edwin Meese and Judge Robert Bork, among others.
