Justice as Impartiality - Barry, Brian (Arnold A. Saltzman Professor in the Department of Philosophy and Political Science, Columbia University, Arnold A. Saltzman Professor in the Department of Philosophy and Political Science, Columbia University)

For over twenty years, Brian Barry has been writing on the foundations of a liberal-democratic constitutional order. Standing against the trend towards relativism in political philosophy, Barry offers a contemporary restatement of the Enlightenment idea that certain basic principles can validly claim the allegiance of every reasonable human being.
