Liberalism, Individualism and Values from Ethical Culture Society Bergen on Vimeo.

Harvard professor Michael Sandel, author of Public Philosophy, “is worried that those espousing a liberal political philosophy, including leaders in the Democratic Party, weaken themselves by refusing to engage in discussion about religious and moral values, especially those that support their political positions,” notes Dr. Chuman. “While I understand the problem that Sandel and others point to, I conclude that the cure is potentially worse than the disease.”
