Faith in liberalism: Exploring religion and democracy in the state of Israel (John Rawls).
Mazie, Steven Victor.

Faith in liberalism: Exploring religion and democracy in the state of Israel (John Rawls). - 395 p.

Chair: Don Herzog.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Michigan, 2002.

Does liberalism necessitate a strict separation of religion and state? Or are there some ways in which religion may play a role in constituting a liberal state? Steering clear of a tendency among some political theorists to insulate questions of justification from a rigorous engagement with actual political practices, this dissertation addresses these questions by closely analyzing the links between Judaism and democracy in the State of Israel. Chapter 1 debunks a common assumption that varieties of religion-state interaction are limited to either wholesale “integration” or strict “separation”; fleshes out John Rawls's arguments concerning the proper role of religion in public deliberation; and argues that political liberalism makes room for more religion in political life than is often thought. Chapter 2 begins the investigation of Israel's religion-state arrangement by outlining the role of religion in Israeli constitutional development and describing the Jewish dimensions of the state. Chapters 3–5 turn to the illuminating results of an original research study funded by the National Science Foundation (Grant No. SES-9910903). Here I introduce 31 religiously diverse Israeli interview subjects; critically analyze their arguments about the nature of Israel as a Jewish state and as a democratic state; explore what Israelis mean when they call for “separation of religion and state” or a “state of all its citizens”; and take a microscope to three sets of religion-state linkages: those agreeable to the vast majority of Arab and Jewish citizens alike, those objectionable to liberal Jews; and those particularly troublesome in the eyes of Arabs. Chapter 6 reflects on the results of the field research and on Rawls's arguments in <italic>The Law of Peoples</italic> to develop a more contextual account of political liberalism. I conclude that while mixing politics with religion is fraught with potential dangers, distinctions must be made between religion-state connections which threaten civil liberties and those which affirm and express a society's deeply held values or serve genuinely liberal purposes without sacrificing individual freedom. Through a detailed exploration of a provocative case study, the project offers a nuanced and politically engaged appraisal of the risks and opportunities of religion in politics.
