Rush's Radical Autonomy
I wouldn’t label myself “conservative,” and I don’t know whether Rush’s views are within the main stream of American conservatism, but it seems to me that Rob is right that Rush’s views are disconnected from an authentic understanding of the human person. I would go so far to say that no politically conservative Catholic with a well-formed conscience could assent to Rush’s aspirations of radical autonomy.
Maybe we ought to send Rush a copy of Alasdair McIntyre’s “Dependent Rational Animal.”
