Condition remarks: One tear on back of jacket. small tears at front of jacket.
A rigorous work of philosophical and political thought, Church, State, and Conscience: Collected Essays presents Max Charlesworth's incisive arguments on the complex and often contentious relationship between religious institutions, secular governance, and individual moral autonomy. Drawing on his background as one of Australia's foremost Catholic philosophers, Charlesworth argues with clarity and conviction for a liberal framework in which freedom of conscience is treated as a foundational and inviolable right. The essays address pressing questions about how democratic states should navigate religious pluralism, the limits of institutional authority, and the moral claims of the individual against both church and government. Written in an accessible yet intellectually rigorous tone, the collection illustrates how philosophical analysis can illuminate real-world tensions between faith, law, and personal belief. Scholars of political philosophy, ethics, and religious studies will find this an essential and thought-provoking volume.
