More Communitarian Thought

Available here is British MP Liam Byrne’s presentation to the Fabian Society on a new communitarian perspective on opportunity during a series of seminars on social mobility.

Available here are the remarks of British MP Liam Byrne’s remarks to Quilliam titled “From common challenge to common purpose” regarding the importance of the United Kingdom retaining its identity in the midst of an increasingly globalized world.

Available here is an excerpt from Dr. B van den Brink’s commentary at the Trudy van Asperen lecture on May 14, 2009.

Available here is an essay by Professor Edward Lehman investigating the connection between socio-economics and communitarianism. He does this by looking back to Etzioni’sThe Moral Dimension (1988) and its call for the necessity of having an active civil society based on universal moral principles informing government regulation.

In his critique (available here), “In Defence of Etzioni’s ‘Radical Multiculturalist,’” Michael Hand, Reader of Philsophy of Education at the University of London’s Institute of Education argues that it is not the role of the state to either foster or promote the particularist values of a state. The state, according to Hand, should not be entitled to stand in judgment of which values can be ascribed to its citizenry, nor be able to judge which particularist values are deserving of promotion, and can foster community by embracing universal values grounded in the human condition.

Available here is an article by Miguel J. LLofriu Terrasa exploring the links between Etzioni’sThe Moral Dimension (1988) and Kantian philosophy.

Available here is an English description of Miguel Llofriu’s doctoral thesis.
