Notes
Based on author's thesis (Doctoral - University of Cambridge, 2018) issued under title: A general legal right to conscientious exemption : beyond religious privilege,
Summary
"This book makes three main claims. The first, a normative claim, is that a general legal right to conscientious exemption is a defining feature of a liberal democracy which is committed to individual freedom and state neutrality between different conceptions of the good life. This means that a state without such a right is, all things being equal, less liberal than a state which institutionalises the right"-- Provided by publisher.
