(Policy of Truth) RESPECTFULLY, I RESENT
If I’m resenting the things that I should resent and not resenting the things that I should not resent, I’ll resent you for just up and insulting me out of nowhere. But I won’t resent you for insulting me if you have good reason (or reason of the right kind) to insult me. Similarly, if…

(A Collection of Unmitigated Pedantry) Collections: Total Generalship: Commanding Pre-Modern Armies, Part I: Reports
This week we’re going to start a four-part look at the role of the pre-modern general or army commander, particularly in the context of a pitched battle. This is of course a vast topic, but we are going to focus not on tactical or strategic questions but on a lot of the nuts and bolts…

( Comments for ProSocial Libertarians ) Comment on Once more, against moralism in community by Andrew Jason Cohen
In reply to <a href=”https://prosociallibertarians.com/2022/05/24/once-more-against-moralism-in-community/comment-page-1/#comment-231″>James C Taggart</a>. The impetus is 2 fold: (1) I know too many people that have very strong moralist tendencies. (2) There has been a rise in what seem to me variations of communitarian legal moralisms as of late. I’m thinking, in particular, of Deneen and Adrian Vermuele (“common-good constitutionalism”).

In reply to <a href=”https://prosociallibertarians.com/2022/05/24/once-more-against-moralism-in-community/comment-page-1/#comment-230″>Andrew Jason Cohen</a>. Just curious, but what is your impetus for taking up this topic? I don’t know of any serious academic defense of legal moralism having been proposed recently or any significant effort to implement such moralism in a practical political way. So I wonder if I am missing something…

In reply to <a href=”https://prosociallibertarians.com/2022/05/24/once-more-against-moralism-in-community/comment-page-1/#comment-229″>James C Taggart</a>. Cool question. At the end of the day, I do think unanimity is required, but only for a core set of beliefs — those that make up the supposed “fabric of society.” Over time, of course, some of these will be changed (or removed entirely, perhaps replaced).
