Descripción
This week on The Open Door (January 24th) we virtually visit Norway. What’s going on with Christian Democracy there and in nearby Sweden? What sources do our Scandinavian friends draw...
mostra más- How did Christian Democracy come to the Nordic countries?
- In what ways has its development been distinctive?
- The core principles of Christian Democratic thought include subsidiarity, solidarity, social market economy, and popularism. Could you explain them to us?
- Could you please introduce us to some of the major Scandinavian proponents of Christian Democracy?
- There’s an old line that an expert is someone from 20 miles away. But surely there’s more involved than that. What’s required to be, say, a moral expert?
- There’s another old line that dismisses a poorly written document as the work of a committee. What’s the task of an ethics committee and how can we tell if it’s achieved?
- Democracy is not without its puzzles. When if ever is pure democracy feasible?
- What do you make of the Anscombe Paradox, namely that in a majority of instances the majority might be in the minority?
- Does political authority rest on convention, contract, consent, or something other than these?
- A bonus question: Do you think that Magnus Carlsen’s chess brilliance would lend itself to political analysis? After all, Gary Kasparov might serve as his mentor!
