Political Illiberalism. Cet article n’est pas disponible.Political Illiberalism

This book deconstructs the story of liberalism that John Rawls, author of Political Liberalism, and many others have put forward. Peter L.P. Simpson argues that political liberalism is despotic because it denies to politics a concern with the comprehensive human good; political illiberalism overcomes this despotism and restores genuine freedom. In Political Illiberalism, Simpson provides a detailed account of these political phenomena and presents a political theory opposed to that of Rawls and other proponents of modern liberalism.

Peter L. P. Simpson is professor of philosophy and classics at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, USA. He is the author of Goodness and Nature and The Politics of Aristotle.
