Synopsis

Liberalism as an intellectual and political movement has progressed a long way from the Anglo-American classical liberalism to contemporary liberal deontology. Often it seems that the latest versions of liberal theory have little in common with the original ideas involved in liberal thought. This gradual change in Western political tradition has led the modern market-based democracy into a state of confusion; it not always being clear whether it is contemporary power structures and material values or comprehensive moral views that a democratic political order is meant to promote. This collection of articles discusses the extensive challenges liberalism faces at the turn of the 21st century and aims to offer a comprehensive critical survey of various controversial issues in liberalism and to provide new interpretations of its central ideas.
