Is liberty or democracy the primary constitutional value? At a time when Americans are increasingly facing violations of their civil liberties, Timothy Sandefur s insightful new book explains why the Declaration of Independence, with its doctrines on the primacy of liberty, the natural rights of man, and the limits on legitimate government, should serve as the guidepost for understanding the Constitution. The author takes the reader through the ideas of substantive due process and judicial activism and defends them from mainstream criticisms while drawing on examples from literature, television, and Supreme Court cases. The Conscience of the Constitution: The Declaration of Independence and the Right to Liberty argues that modern legal doctrines, which value democracy over liberty, are endangering individual rights and corrupting our civic institutions.

Leading ethicists and theologians address ""Conscience,"" a term loaded with meaning and controversy in the Catholic Vhurch in recent decades around issues like political participation, human sexuality, war and institutional violence, and theological dissent. Many essays focus on the tension between the primacy of conscience (codified at Vatican II) and the processes and cultures of Catholic institutions, including schools, hospitals, and medical research facilities.

In this fourteenth volume of the popular Readings in Moral Theology series, editor Charles Curran deals with the important issue of conscience. In keeping with the ethos of the series, he has gathered together the most pertinent, already published articles on conscience, from points of view ranging from progressive to conservative. To facilitate reading, understanding, and discussion, the volume unfolds in three different parts. Part One discusses general theories of conscience. Part Two centers on hierarchical church teaching on conscience and the response of conscience to authoritative hierarchical teaching. And Part Three focuses on the relationship of conscience to other important aspects--gender, moral development, self-transcendence, error, the Holy Spirit, and solidarity with victims.

Israel G. “Izzy” Young was the proprietor of the Folklore Center in Greenwich Village from the late 1950s to the early 1970s. The literal center of the New York folk music scene, the Center not only sold records, books, and guitar strings but served as a concert hall, meeting spot, and information kiosk for all folk scene events. Among Young’s first customers was Harry Belafonte; among his regular visitors were Alan Lomax and Pete Seeger. Shortly after his arrival in New York City in 1961, an unknown Bob Dyan banged away at songs on Young’s typewriter. Young would also stage Dylan’s first concert, as well as shows by Joni Mitchell, the Fugs, Emmylou Harris, and Tim Buckley, Doc Watson, Son House, and Mississippi John Hurt.The Conscience of the Folk Revival: The Writings of Israel “Izzy” Young collects Young’s writing, from his regular column “Frets and Frails” for Sing Out! Magazine (1959-1969) to his commentaries on such contentious issues as copyright and commercialism. Also including his personal recollections of seminal figures, from Bob Dylan and Alan Lomax to Harry Smith and Woody Guthrie, this collection removes the rose tinting of past memoirs by offering Young’s detailed, day-by-day accounts. A key collection of primary sources on the American countercultural scene in New York City, this work will interest not only folk music fans, but students and scholars of American social and cultural history.

Religious toleration appears near the top of any short list of core liberal democratic values. Theorists from John Locke to John Rawls emphasize important interconnections between the principles of toleration, constitutional government, and the rule of law. Conscience and Community revisits the historical emergence of religious liberty in the Anglo-American tradition, looking deeper than the traditional emergence of toleration to find not a series of self-evident or logically connected expansions but instead a far more complex evolution. Murphy argues that contemporary liberal theorists have misunderstood and misconstrued the actual historical development of toleration in theory and practice. Murphy approaches the concept through three "myths" about religious toleration: that it was opposed only by ignorant, narrow-minded persecutors; that it was achieved by skeptical Enlightenment rationalists; and that tolerationist arguments generalize easily from religion to issues such as gender, race, ethnicity, and sexuality, providing a basis for identity politics.

St. Alphonsus Liguori was named a doctor of the Church because of his significant contributions in moral theology. The subject of Conscience is the first treatise in his work Moral Theology (Theologia Moralis).The careful way in which St. Alphonsus outlines the steps to reach a moral decision within a system of principles guarantees the dignity of a personal conscience.Fr. Raphael Gallagher, CSsR, a moral theologian, has produced a faithful and pastoral translation of Leonard Gaudé's critical edition from its original ecclesiastical Latin. Fr. Raphael also provides commentaries on each chapter that place the work in context and make the 18th-century text relevant for today.This is an essential treatise for those who wish to understand St. Alphonsus' approach to moral theology.

Until Stalin changed it into his own image, the communist movement was not simple, homogeneous and monolithic, but complex dissentious, and changeable. This important work from the Russian Research Center of Harvard University is a history and study of the difference within the communist movement in Russia and of all the groups that opposed the movement's leaders - from the establishment of the Bolshevik Party by Lenin till the last real voices of opposition were stifled by Stalin in the purges of the late 1930's. With brilliant insight and a wealth of scholarship, Professor Daniels describes the battles between the Leninists and Leftists (including Trotsky) - the pragmatists and idealists of the Revolution - that reveal how communism developed in an unplanned way far from its initial aims and meaning, and demonstrates that the direction of Soviet political evolution was the complex product of many factors - historical circumstances, social and economic realities, ideals and ideology, and the quirks, drives and preferences of leading or contending personalities. The Conscience of the Revolution is an indispensable source for an understanding of the crucial early period in Soviet history and politics and the evolution of a totalitarian system.

The five essays in this collection are based on P. D. Ouspensky’s talks and answers to questions, transcribed at private meetings in England and the United States from 1931 to 1946. They bring contemporary readers the wisdom of Gurdjieff as interpreted and refined by a spiritual master in his own right. Topics include Memory,” Surface Personality,” Self-Will,” Negative Emotions,” and Notes on Work.” These essays argue persuasively that direct observation of self is the key to awakening from the "waking sleep" that characterizes life for so many.
