Abstract

ABSTRACT:The article opens with a discussion of my premises in relation to the separation of state and religion. Section II elucidates the goal of creating a decent and just society in Israel. Section III explains the manner in which liberal democratic values, based on the above presmises, enable Israel to fulfill this goal. These values include liberty, tolerance, human rights, equality, truth, and justice. The Respect for Others Argument and the Harm Principle safeguard the rights of women, ethnic, religious, national and cultural minorities, homosexuals and others who might otherwise find themselves at a disadvantage in society. Section IV delineates how and why justice is the all-encompassing value Israel must adopt. The Conclusion focuses on the means of compromise and deliberation used in the decision-making processes.

为什么要把国家和宗教分开?

摘要：文章首先讨论了我关于国家与宗教分离的前提。第二节阐述了在以色列建立一个体面和公正社会的目标。第三节解释了基于上述假设的自由民主价值观使以色列能够实现这一目标的方式。这些价值观包括自由、宽容、人权、平等、真理和正义。尊重他人的论点和伤害原则保障妇女、族裔、宗教、民族和文化少数群体、同性恋者和其他可能在社会中处于不利地位的人的权利。第四节阐述了正义如何以及为什么是以色列必须采用的包罗万象的价值观。结论侧重于决策过程中使用的妥协和审议手段。
