His comments in the last third of that piece, responding to Gary Glenn, are an interesting take on Aristotle’s and Plato’s defense of infanticide and abortion. He sees this as a moral error, but one not made in the service of a “culture of death.” One has to be a modern, or a Calliclean/Thrasymachean hedonist/relativist, to earn that title.

Count me as not a big fan of the phrase “democratic capitalism,” and even less so for considering the questions Jason (and Patrick D.) are raising.
