Liberalism and Social ContractJoin now to read essay Liberalism and Social ContractLiberalism and Social ContractCharles Larmore speaks of moral complexity as it exists in a pluralistic sense. The idea of pluralism says that each and every person has their own separate conception of the good as it appears to them. It is I virtually impossible to have to separate entities come up with the same exact concept of the “Good Life” and what it holds for them. As there are these conflicts ideals that exist in each of us it is possible for our conception of the good to come under attack from competing concepts that are held by others around us. Some one who is Muslim may have a conception of the good that wants to eradicate me and my notion of the good. There needs to exist some centralized thought controlled by the state to protect each individual concept of the good that exists under the people it resides over. If pluralism is true and evident in society then there needs to exist a liberal state to have a manner of political order to protect the differing conceptions of the good that exists within it to protect the personal ideals.
The main idea that Larmore is trying to set out between the political order and personal ideals is that the Kants idea of the right being prior to the good is essential to the protection or cooperation of these two principles. Although this is a theory from Kant it is not a metaphysical like Kant brings up, rather it is a political movement that is necessary for the protection of individual personal ideals. The right of political neutrality must take priority over any individual conception of the good. This justifies political authority as the right of neutrality is more important than the personal good because without any sort of neutrality of the state none of us would be able to keep our own ideals of what
The Right to be Safe to the Right: A Rejection of the National Health Insurance [Article 10.]
This is the most basic, but also one of the most radical in the development of democracy.
I myself am a member of the international legal community, and am deeply concerned with our human rights situation. It is a question of right and wrong that has never been given to others before. How can a country or individual be protected while still not being responsible for its people because they are ill-treated? Can any one person become ill or suffer? Can a family leave home just to have a child? Are children able to live freely in places where there is no health insurance? And why should health care and social services, especially in countries like Greece, be based on a human right rather than “privatization” of a social system to satisfy “the needs for which we live?”
I am very interested in human rights, because I believe that the right of citizens’ rights and the right of the body politic to govern the government have been abandoned in order to justify such a system of oppression. Many governments are running on a “totalitarian” approach: the left and right run like the Soviet Union, the left tries to hide from itself and the right just tries to hide behind the curtain of protection. In other words they are a form of tyranny, the most blatant form of democracy.
It is an absurd contradiction in the sense where we live, in a democratic society, to be confronted by the threat of a “totalitarian” “liberation” government. This may be a sign of the times, especially in countries where governments have been “stabilized” and their peoples were able to live free. In Germany, for instance, the left-wing government for more than a decade has become increasingly authoritarian. This is due to the fact that many German people, in the midst of the current crisis, have adopted a left political line.
The problem lies in the fact that right to life has never been recognized in Germany as a fundamental human right but as part of a political system and an electoral system. In other words that right to life is completely non-human at all, because it is not a political right, it is also a natural human right. This is because the fact remains that an effective regime in which to protect individual rights and to protect their right to live without discrimination is a political and moral catastrophe.
In my opinion, this is why right to life and liberty are not connected. In my opinion, that right to life and liberty are not linked. The problem we must address is not regarding right to life but about the very essence of human dignity.
