Description

In Liberalism's Troubled Search for Equality, Robert P.

Jones presents a penetrating examination of physician-assisted suicide that exposes unresolved tensions deep within liberal political theory.

Jones asks why egalitarian liberal philosophers-most notably, Ronald Dworkin and John Rawls-support legalized physician-assisted suicide in direct opposition to groups of disadvantaged citizens they theoretically champion.

Jones argues that egalitarian liberals ought to oppose physician-assisted suicide-at least until we find the political will to ensure access to health care for all.

More broadly, Jones challenges progressives to find the heart of the liberal tradition not in allegedly neutral appeals to "choice" but in a renewed commitment to equality and social justice that welcomes public religious voices as allies.
