  • Are Cities Illiberal? Municipal Jurisdictions and the Scope of Liberal Neutrality 

    Turmel, Patrick (Centre de recherche en éthique de l'Université de Montréal, 2009-06)
    One of the main characteristics of today’s democratic societies is their pluralism. As a result, liberal political philosophers often claim that the state should remain neutral with respect to different conceptions of the good. Legal and social policies ...

  • Beyond Equality of What: Sen and Neutrality 

    Lowry, Christopher Robert (Centre de recherche en éthique de l'Université de Montréal, 2009-09)
    Based on a close reading of the debate between Rawls and Sen on primary goods versus capabilities, I argue that liberal theory cannot adequately respond to Sen’s critique within a conventionally neutralist framework. In support of the capability approach, ...

  • An Epistemic Argument in Support of Liberal Neutrality 

    Garreta Leclercq, Mariano (Centre de recherche en éthique de l'Université de Montréal, 2009-06)
    My aim in the present paper is to develop a new kind of argument in support of the ideal of liberal neutrality. This argument combines some basic moral principles with a thesis about the relationship between the correct standards of justification for ...

  • Liberal Neutrality : Constructivist, not foundationalist 

    Horne, Lendell (Centre de recherche en éthique de l'Université de Montréal, 2009-06)
    In defending the principle of neutrality, liberals have often appealed to a more general moral principle that forbids coercing persons in the name of reasons those persons themselves cannot reasonably be expected to share. Yet liberals have struggled ...

  • Neutrality and the social contract 

    Carroll, Ian J. (Centre de recherche en éthique de l'Université de Montréal, 2009-06)
    Given the fact of moral disagreement, theories of state neutrality which rely on moral premises will have limited application, in that they will fail to motivate anyone who rejects the moral premises on which they are based. By contrast, contractarian ...

  • Neutrality as a Twofold Concept 

    Zellentin, Alexa (Centre de recherche en éthique de l'Université de Montréal, 2009-06)
    Under the circumstances of pluralism people often claim that the state ought to be neutral towards its citizens’ conceptions of the good life. However, what it means for the state to be neutral is often unclear. This is partly because there are different ...

  • Perfectionism, Economic (dis)Incentives, and Political Coercion 

    Moked, Oran (Centre de recherche en éthique de l'Université de Montréal, 2009-09)
    May a government attempt to improve the lives of its citizens by promoting the activities it deems valuable and discouraging those it disvalues? May it engage in such a practice even when doing so is not a requirement of justice in some strict sense, ...

  • Sur la neutralité libérale/On Liberal Neutrality 

    Merrill, Roberto; Rousselière, Geneviève (Centre de recherche en éthique de l'Université de Montréal, 2009-06)

  • Tolérance et neutralité: incompatibles ou complémentaires? 

    Rüegger, Marc (Centre de recherche en éthique de l'Université de Montréal, 2009-06)
    La tolérance et la neutralité sont habituellement considérées comme des réponses interchangeables ou du moins complémentaires à des situations de conflit et de désaccord moral. Malgré cette association traditionnelle, plusieurs auteurs ont récemment ...
