Description

This book is about the challenge of judging matters of public concern without a common sense of the good or other shared criteria that validate final decisions. Examining both the philosophical and the practical aspects of this challenge, the book focuses on United States Supreme Court opinions that authorize and regulate the practice of sentencing people to death.
