| 520 | |a Kaveny (law and theology, U. of Notre Dame) argues that law is a moral teacher of virtue and explores how to adapt this function in a pluralistic society. This includes encouraging solidarity and empowering autonomy as the ground of virtuous living. She advocates a third way between secular (impartial) law and theocracy, underscoring the pedagogic function of the law and how "law must key its moral message to the actual culture and customs of the people it purports to govern." She organizes the book into three parts with the first considering what it means to call the law a moral teacher. The next and largest section considers life issues and the law, including abortion, regulating access to genetic information, and assisted suicide. The last section turns toward voting, morality and the law. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) | ||
