초록
In a multi-religious democratic society, grave concerns are religious argu- ments in terms of important political policies, since they often lead to bitter conflict. For instance, social issues such as abortion, euthanasia, and war are deeply connected to religious comprehensive doctrine. While discussing such issues, citizens are prone to disrespect one another as they set forth their religiously grounded arguments. A pantheon of political theorists in- cluding John Rawls, Richard Rorty, and Martha Nussbaum contends that a re - ligionist should restrain her religiously grounded argument in terms of im- portant political policies. Other theorists such as Christopher Eberle, Nicholas Wolterstorff, and Micah Lott reject the restraint argument, affirming that religion is the core of individual identity. While restraining her reli- giously grounded arguments, a religionist can respect her fellow citizens but not herself. There should be a way of respecting both a religionist and her fellow citizens. I argue that by theo-ethical approximation, neither by theo-ethical equilibrium nor theistic pursuit, a religionist can respect herself and her fellow citizens as she sets forth her religiously grounded arguments.
Abstract
In a multi-religious democratic society, grave concerns are religious argu- ments in terms of important political policies, since they often lead to bitter conflict. For instance, social issues such as abortion, euthanasia, and war are deeply connected to religious comprehensive doctrine. While discussing such issues, citizens are prone to disrespect one another as they set forth their religiously grounded arguments. A pantheon of political theorists in- cluding John Rawls, Richard Rorty, and Martha Nussbaum contends that a re - ligionist should restrain her religiously grounded argument in terms of im- portant political policies. Other theorists such as Christopher Eberle, Nicholas Wolterstorff, and Micah Lott reject the restraint argument, affirming that religion is the core of individual identity. While restraining her reli- giously grounded arguments, a religionist can respect her fellow citizens but not herself. There should be a way of respecting both a religionist and her fellow citizens. I argue that by theo-ethical approximation, neither by theo-ethical equilibrium nor theistic pursuit, a religionist can respect herself and her fellow citizens as she sets forth her religiously grounded arguments.
