SCORZA, JASON A. Strong Liberalism: Habits Of Mind For Democraic Citizenship. Tufts University Press: 2007. ISBN: 1584656654
320 pages. Timely, sophisticated, practical directives for a stronger and more secure liberalism. In this age of "total" war on terrorism, many liberals fail to recognize the dangers of adopting the methods of their enemiesNof meeting propaganda with propaganda, cruelty with cruelty, and violence with violence. Other liberals reject even modest efforts to teach and regulate good citizenship, fearing that in doing so they will come to resemble their enemies. Can liberal democracy be strengthened and secured without either compromising basic liberal principles or emasculating fundamental liberal purposes? The great totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century are gone, but the need for "strong liberalism" has never been more urgent. Jason A. Scorza argues that liberalism can generate an account of citizenship responsive to such pressing contemporary challenges as political fear, political apathy, and conformist political membership. Strong Liberalism is founded on understanding thoroughly the canonical defenders of liberal democracy (John Stuart Mill, John Rawls, and Judith Shklar), moving beyond the thinking of prominent contemporary theorists (Stephen Macedo, William Galston, and Thomas Spragens), and parrying the arguments of liberalism's critics (Benjamin Barber, Michael Sandel, and Mary Ann Glendon). Scorza imparts a sharp theory of "strong liberalism" that summons liberal philosophy to the battlefield of the inner life of politics and recalls it to its own essential but often overlooked strengths: civic friendship, political courage, political self-reliance, civic toleration, and political irreverence. The theory of strong liberalism accepts that civic strength is rooted in civic pluralism. Liberal democracy is best served by the cultivation of multiple examples of good citizenship rather than by the insistence that a single, ideal civic character can be identified and universally imposed through civic education. "Strong Liberalism is a rigorous and gracefully written essay on one of the central dilemmas in the theory and practice of free societies. On the one hand such societies are fragile human creations whose survival requires the wide diffusion of civic virtue and understanding; on the other hand, state sponsored civic education lends itself much more readily to creating docile subjects of authority than free and active citizens. Scorza weaves a path through the horns of this dilemma with ingenuity, wit, and a remarkable breath of scholarship."NEamonn Callan, Pigott Family Professor in the School of Education, Stanford University Hardcover with dustjacket.

new
Amsterdam & Atlanta, GA: Rodopi,1997. Paperback. VI,213 pp. (Value Inquiry Book Series 40) This volume contains ten chapters, each of which takes up a different question in contemporary moral or political philosophy. The volume has three parts: meta-ethics, issues in freedom and autonomy, and contemporary political philosophy. In the meta-ethical section, the chapters address issues concerning acts and their value, the plausibility of aggregation and counting with respect to the value of human lives, and the role of moral character in causing and explaining moral behavior. In the second section, the chapters take up questions about the connection between moral imagination and a plausible account of integrity, the connection between autonomy and rights to property, and the difficulties facing internalist accounts of autonomy. In the final section, the chapters address issues concerning feminist critiques of Rawlsian liberalism, the limits of liberalism and communitarianism, the importance of understanding Rawls's social contract as a contract for institutions, and the morality of nationalist movements.

The author argues that the "political" liberalism of thearoists such as John Rawls and the "perfectionist" liberalism of theorists such as Joseph Raz fail to express the spirit of generosity which is liberalism at its best. Instead, he finds resources for such a spirit in the maligned tradition of Hobbesian, or "vulgar," liberalism an argues that a turn back in this direction is necessary.
