Authority and the Liberal Tradition From Hobbes to Rorty
Brand: Routledge
Description
Authority and the Liberal Tradition critically describes the historical foundations of modern liberalism implicitly analyzing the status and effectiveness of American democracy. Heineman examines contemporary liberal ideology which he argues undermines the normative basis of social stability that was an important element in the classical liberal tradition. He shows how American government has become hostage to ideology to the advocacy of interest-group politics. | Authority and the Liberal Tradition From Hobbes to Rorty
