| | The American Enterprise: Con-fusion: Prudence and Principle in Contemporary Conservatism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) |
 | | Hart clearly wants to separate the Constitution and Constitutional government, which depend, he says, “on English tradition and classical theory,” from the natural law argumentation invoked in the Declaration of Independence and by contemporary natural law theorists. |
 | | While Hart hasn’t given us much to go on, there seems to be a tension between his religion, which is universal and metaphysical, and his politics, which is grounded in particularity and concrete social facts. |
 | | I assume that Hart is not a mere separationist, simple-mindedly insisting upon the privacy of religion and banishing it from the public square. |
