Ronald Dworking, Religion without God

Abstract

From text: Professor Ronald Dworkin undoubtedly ranks high on the list of popular and influential liberal legal philosophers. Until his death in February 2013, Dworkin produced a host of scholarly contributions. His last book, namely Religion Without God (RWG) (which was published posthumously) has received ample applause in the rather brief time since its publication. However, Dworkin’s attempt in RWG at providing radically new perspectives has recently been criticised acutely and informatively, hereby bringing to light major weaknesses in his thought.2This review focuses on some of the essential criticisms levelled at RWG to date, and also addresses further points of concern.
