  • Justice for Hedgehogs

    by Ronald Dworkin ...
    In Dworkin’s master work, the central thesis is that all areas of value depend on one another. This is one, big thing that the hedgehog knows, in contrast to the fox, who knows many little things. Dworkin’s understanding of the relationship—between ethics, morality, and political morality—is significantly revised and also greatly elaborated. He argues that “dignity” is the essential core of living ... Read more

  • Religion without God

    by Ronald Dworkin ...
    In his last book, Ronald Dworkin addresses timeless questions: What is religion and what is God's place in it? What are death and immortality?

Belief in God is one manifestation of this view, but not the only one. ... Read more

  • Is Democracy Possible Here?

    Principles for a New Political Debate

    by Ronald Dworkin ...
    Politics in America are polarized and trivialized, perhaps as never before. In Congress, the media, and academic debate, opponents from right and left, the Red and the Blue, struggle against one another as if politics were contact sports played to the shouts of cheerleaders. The result, Ronald Dworkin writes, is a deeply depressing political culture, as ill equipped for the perennial challenge of ... Read more

  • Sovereign Virtue

    The Theory and Practice of Equality

    by Ronald Dworkin ...
    Equality is the endangered species of political ideals. Even left-of-center politicians reject equality as an ideal: government must combat poverty, they say, but need not strive that its citizens be equal in any dimension. In his new book Ronald Dworkin insists, to the contrary, that equality is the indispensable virtue of democratic sovereignty. A legitimate government must treat all its ... Read more
