The self at liberty:political argument and the arts of government

Histories of liberalisms
No full textWhat can we learn from the new scholarship on the history of liberalism? Does it help re-cast current debates within liberalism and with its rivals? Does it deepen our understanding of its origins in productive ways, or undermine our confidence in its capacity to orient us for the future? It doesn’t have to do any of this - good history is valuable just in being good history. But I think it is worth posing the question. I won’t be able to provide a complete answer here.

Some chapters tackle broad, meta-level questions about the coherence and justificatory limits and possibilities of liberalism; others tackle conceptual issues; still others specific institutional, cultural, historical, and political questions. What the book makes clear is not only the abundance of challenges facing liberalism, but also the diversity and shape-shifting nature of liberalism itself - historically, conceptually, and normatively.

I also identify three cross-cutting themes that emerge across the chapters: the complacency of liberalism, the self-undermining of liberalism, and the insufficiency of liberalism. For some, these are fatal flaws, for others, a call for renewal. What isn’t in doubt, as will hopefully become clear, is the sense of liberalism remaining a site of productive debate and concern for contemporary politics
