Democracy, Intelligent Design, and Evolution: Science for Citizenship de Susan P. Liebell

Democracy, Intelligent Design, and Evolution: Science for Citizenship: Routledge Research in American Politics and Governance

Autor Susan P. Liebell
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 sep 2015
Should alternatives to evolution be taught in American public schools or rejected as an establishment of religion? Democracy, Intelligent Design, and Evolution argues that accurate science education helps shape a democratic temperament. Rather than defending against Intelligent Design as religion, citizens should defend science education as crucial to three aspects of the democratic person: political citizenship, economic fitness, and moral choice. Through an examination of Tammy Kitzmiller et al. v. Dover Area School District, contemporary political theory, and foundational American texts, this volume provides an alternative jurisprudence and political vocabulary urging American liberalism to embrace science for citizenship.

Recenzii

"What is the proper balance between religious expression and science education in a liberal democracy? To be ‘free,’ citizens must express their deepest held convictions but also think critically and ascertain facts. Susan P. Liebell, in an unusually probing and utterly fearless fashion, explores this question, thoroughly reshaping our understanding of the relationship of religion and politics in the United States. Democracy, Intelligent Design, and Evolution prioritizes science over religion--but it does so in ways that will surprise ‘secularists,’ and likely will earn the grudging respect of politically active religionists. A must-read for anyone interested in civic education in our supposedly ‘post-secular age.’"
—John P. McCormick, University of Chicago
"Susan Liebell has written a wonderful and extraordinarily timely book. Through an uncommonly rich mix of theory, law, and political analysis, she offers a thoughtful and penetrating analysis of the complex role that science plays in democratic politics and civic life. During a time in which science education is a subject of great political debate, we should pay close attention to Liebell's arguments. As a citizen you will benefit from reading this book."
—Jack Knight, Duke University

Descriere

Is American liberalism an Enlightenment liberalism that emphasizes universal principles and autonomy or a deeply Protestant liberalism with respect for diversity of religious belief and opinion? To what extent does respect for the scientific method undergird or undercut these competing and complementary understandings of liberalism? Through an examination of Tammy Kitzmiller, et al. v. Dover Area School District, this volume shows how American civic identity has stretched to accommodate both versions of liberalism, yet any decision regarding the teaching of evolution has serious implications for diversity, autonomy, and tolerance.
