Abstract
Moral conviction embodies an inescapable element of passivity, Hegel argued, a constitutive identification with morality’s demands, that cannot arise from autonomous decision, but only from the training and socialization that creates our very sense of self. Charles LarmoreIn the opening pages of Liberalism, Community and Culture Will Kymlicka tells us that the book was motivated by two concerns:One is my discomfort with recent communitarian discussions of culture and community, and with the kinds of criticisms they have brought against liberalism. The other is a discomfort with the way liberals have responded with indifference or hostility to the collective rights of minority cultures (1).
