Özet

David Golemboski’s Religious Pluralism and Political Stability: Obligations in Agreement investigates conflicts between citizens’ religious and political-legal obligations in contemporary pluralistic societies by analyzing the relevant literature and court cases from the perspective of political liberalism. As such conflicts generate an unstable political system, which is not sustainable, the question is of great importance. In this sense, political “stability” becomes the central focus of the book, which renders the book a significant source in the political theory scholarship. Despite occasionally reductionist and Eurocentric ideas stemming from its implicit claim of universality, the book offers a comprehensive and convincing analysis of the political-religious conflicts in the U.S. context. In this sense, as a substantial contribution to the relevant scholarship, it provides an important source for those interested in the intersections of religion, politics, law and political theory.
