John Gray has become one of our liveliest and most influential political philosophers. This current volume is a sequel to his Liberalisms: Essays in Political Philosophy. The earlier book ended on a sceptical note, both in respect of what a post-liberal political philosophy might look like, and with respect to the claims of political philosophy itself. John Gray's new book gives post-liberal theory a more definite content. It does so by considering particular thinkers in the history of political thought, by criticizing the conventional wisdom, liberal and socialist, of the Western academic class, and most directly by specifying what remains of value in liberalism. The upshot of this line of thought is that we need not regret the failure of foundationalist liberalism, since we have all we need in the historic inheritance of the institutions of civil society. It is to the practice of liberty that these institutions encompass, rather than to empty liberal theory, that we should repair.

Seller's Description:
Near Fine. This book is a companion volume to the author's earlier book, Liberalisms: Essays in Political Philosophy, in which he considered recent versions of doctrinal liberalism, according to which liberal institutions framed the only legitimate regime for the whole world, and found them all flawed irreparably; in this book he provides a more substantive statement of a successor-theory to liberalism, in which liberal practice is defended not as the application of a universal political morality but as an historical inheritance which meets human needs in the context of late modernity (blue cover with white lettering, very slight edgewear, otherwise a bright, clean, tight copy)
