With \u003cem\u003ePublic Morality and Liberal Society\u003c\/em\u003e, Harry M. Clor makes an important contribution to this perennial and intensely debated theme by considering how public morality can be justified in theory and accommodated in practice within a liberal society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClor develops his argument in five parts. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the various controversies and ambiguities about public morality in American life and public opinion. In Chapter 2 Clor presents the case for a public standard of morality and defends it against the most persistent objections. Chapter 3 covers some of the themes prominent in recent treatments of the subject of public morality, and Chapter 4 critically analyzes the two theoretically dominant liberal orientations of recent decades, the libertarian and egalitarian views. In Chapter 5 Clor compares the traditional ethical indictment of pornography with the current feminist indictment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Notre Dame Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47614799675543,"sku":"9780268038137","price":7175.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780268038137.webp?v=1775096468","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/public-morality-and-liberal-society-essays-on-decency-law-and-pornography-9780268038137","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
