	Presidential Lectures: Amy Gutmann
		Amy Gutmann is a political philosopher whose ideas, featuring ways for opposing groups to achieve political accommodation, have great relevance for the early 21st-century world.
		Gutmann’s development as a political theorist began as a student and admirer of John Rawls, whose seminal work, A Theory of Justice (1971), revitalized an egalitarian strain within the theoretical tradition of liberalism.
		Gutmann’s essential argument here, that a key goal of democracy should be expansion of the realm of liberty through the development of equal access to basic human goods and services, is a theme that proceeds through the corpus of her writings on political theory, education, and the politics of identity.

	Penn President Amy Gutmann Poses With Islamic Suicide Killer : Tom Shakely: The View from the Valley
		President Gutmann is jewish herself, and to pose even with a fake suicide bomber is a disgrace to herself, her religion and her parents and family, who fled Nazi Germany in 1934.
		Gutmann and others, my suggestion to somehow reprimand President Gutmann for her actions was not motivated purely out of my own offense, but because I believe her actions indirectly brought shame on the name of the University of Pennsylvania.
		Gutmann a disgrace to herseld, her religion and her parents and family is out of line and crosses over the limits of journalism into a personal attack of a woman who, despite the fact that I disagree with her politically, I have tremendous respect for.

		Gutmann says this is the only way she could have attended Harvard, and in April, she announced that Penn — catching up with Harvard and Prince-ton — will provide a full ride to any student whose family earns less than $50,000 a year.

	Edward Feser on Amy Gutmann’s Identity in Democracy on National Review Online
		Gutmann wants to show that liberals are not the atomistic individualists they are accused of being, that liberalism is fully compatible with a recognition that individuals flourish best in the context of private associations, churches, and other “identity groups” defined by common aims and values.
		It never seems to occur to Gutmann that there are conceptions of democracy, justice, rights, and civic equality other than her own liberal conception, and that this is precisely why the beliefs and practices of various religious and cultural groups are so often at odds with those preferred by liberals.
		Here Gutmann is a loyal disciple of John Rawls, who held that liberalism is neutral between all the “reasonable comprehensive doctrines” existing within a pluralistic democratic society, where a doctrine counts as “reasonable” just when (surprise!) it incorporates a willingness to submit to the liberal conception of justice.

	The Daily Princetonian - Gutmann adjusts to life at Penn
		In 28 years at Princeton, Gutmann said she learned much that is now helping her, particularly in the area of fundraising, where she described Penn as critically "under-endowed" — a position that inhibits her goal of widening access to a Penn education.
		Gutmann, who was trained as a political philosopher, said she sees increasing the size of Penn's endowment as a means to fulfill the university's obligation to society — not as a means to attract students who might otherwise choose schools like Princeton, Harvard and Yale.
		Gutmann, who hadn't heard of the fan club, was thrilled to learn she had such a following.

	Augean Stables » Amy Gutmann’s Halloween Fadihah: How to Recover from a Public Humiliation
		President Gutmann allowed herself to have pictures taken with student guests at the party one by one, including with a senior student, Saad Saadi, who chose to dress as a suicide bomber with a kafiya around his head, a toy rifle and replica of bombs around his torso.
		Saadi said when he approached Gutmann for the photo, she joked, “‘How did they let you through security?” It remains open whether Gutmann understood he was a suicide bomber, or just noticed the gun.
		Not that she approves of suicide terrorism, not that, given a moment’s thought, she couldn’t wax eloquent on the moral depravity of the affair (although one wonders whether she thinks [17] it’s born of despair or of the [18] outrageous hope of genocidal hatred).

	Identity in Democracy. By Amy Gutmann. Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press, 2003. Pp. 246. $27.95, cloth.
		Gutmann’s analysis, despite being separated by the four categories of identification for explanatory purposes, consistently focuses on the individual’s multiple overlapping identities.
		Gutmann remarks that an individual’s right to join these groups should not be curtailed in a democratic society; yet, with so many possible permutations of identities, she argues one must be careful not to consider identity groups above individuals or to treat them as representing the united voice of its constituents.
		Gutmann’s book deals directly with the balance between religion and secularism, and as she has consistently done for all types of identities, she treats religious identity from a rights perspective.

		Gutmann, a political philosopher, examines a wide variety of "identity groups" including religions, embattled cultural groups like French-Canadians, socially formative voluntary groups like the Boy Scouts; and "ascriptive groups" who bear an involuntary marker of difference, like racial minorities, homosexuals and the disabled.
		Gutmann's is a serious attempt to reconcile classical liberalism with contemporary multiculturalism.
