Moral Minority
Moral Minority is a podcast on moral philosophy and the problem of moral foundations. Why does morality matter? What grounds the moral principles to which we appeal when making judgments about right and wrong, justice and injustice? Do we have good grounds for making the judgments we do make–in our everyday lives, our relationships, our work, or in politics? And if not, where does that leave us?

Contemporary Conversations: Matt McManus on The Political Theory of Liberal Socialism
Matt McManus joins us to help excavate the common origins of liberalism and socialism within the revolutionary republican tradition and illuminate shared political and normative principles rooted in a commitment to egalitarianism and expressive individualism. His new work, The Political Theory of Liberal Socialism. functions as an survey of key figures within the tradition of political liberalism and how their ideas of freedom, equality, and solidarity run parallel to the development of socialism. McManus lays the groundwork for a reconciliation between a moribund liberalism and a revitalized form of social democracy that reunites the utopian vision of socialism with the moral foundations of liberalism.
