Patrick Riordan, "Human Dignity and Liberal Politics: Catholic Possibilities for the Common Good" (Georgetown UP, 2023)

Patrick Riordan, "Human Dignity and Liberal Politics: Catholic Possibilities for the Common Good" (Georgetown UP, 2023)
Q: How do you confront the risk of paternalism in Catholic engagements in liberal discourse?
We must ensure there is freedom for individuals to dissent, reflecting the true nature of religious liberty.
Patrick Riordan, "Human Dignity and Liberal Politics: Catholic Possibilities for the Common Good" (Georgetown UP, 2023)
Q: What critiques of liberalism do you address in your book?
I emphasize that liberalism and the Catholic common good are compatible, and respond to critiques that suggest being a faithful Catholic excludes one from liberal stances.
Patrick Riordan, "Human Dignity and Liberal Politics: Catholic Possibilities for the Common Good" (Georgetown UP, 2023)
Q: Could you please talk about the three theological and philosophical lenses to view the common good?
The three lenses are Aristotle as the philosopher, John Rawls as a modern political thinker, and the development of Catholic Social Thought at Vatican II.
Patrick Riordan, "Human Dignity and Liberal Politics: Catholic Possibilities for the Common Good" (Georgetown UP, 2023)
Q: How did those disciplines feed into your book?
I saw it as part of my task to communicate from the Catholic intellectual heritage into the liberal political philosophical discussion and say that the liberal political philosophical discussion does need a concept of the good and of the common good.
