It embraces ideas about liberty and personality to the nature of human beings that are distinctive socially liberal views lifeanddeath issues generally identity issues the spectrum of socalled hot button morally charged issues in our culture. That is a view that i am writing the book against kemal i hope respectfully because it is a view that has very credible supporters and i want to do them the justice that they deserve. They put forward arguments. I want to put forward counterarguments have gone i have found that secular liberal views are so widespread as to go largely unquestioned.
