What's Left of Liberalism? : An Interpretation and Defense of Justice as Fairness Paperback / softback
by Jon Mandle
Paperback / softback
Description
The left's reluctance to embrace political liberalism is based, in part, on the persistent misunderstandings of justice as fairness.
In What's Left of Liberalism? Jon Mandle provides a systematic overview of the theory, discussing its basic structure and describing the models of society and the person, as well as the idea of public reason, that it supports.
Mandle also considers the challenges posed to political liberalism by communitarianism and postmodernism, offering critiques of theorists such as Edmund Burke, Michael Oakeshott, and Roger Scruton; and Jacques Derrida, Richard Rorty, and Michel Foucault.
Scholars will find Mandle's arguments thought-provoking, while students will find his clarification of Rawls a useful supplement to the original texts.
