دانلود کتاب Liberalism and Community

“This thoughtfully written book addresses what is perhaps the central political issue of our time: whether liberal societies can hold together as self-sustaining communities, or whether liberal ideology sows the seeds of its own destruction in promoting an asocial individualism.”–Foreign Affairs “Steven Kautz’s Liberalism and Community is a direct response to those, like Michael Sandel, who argue that persons are constituted by their obligations to communities, rather than that communities are constituted by the participation of rights-bearing persons. . . . Mr. Kautz’s [book] provide[s] welcome antidotes to the sentimental gushings about ‘community’ that one hears so often these days.”–Tom G. Palmer, Wall Street Journal “In presenting this spirited commentary, Kautz displays admirable erudition and sure-footedness in handling the texts, both historical and contemporary. He makes subtle distinctions and thoughtful observations. He also practices the toleration he preaches, treating those he criticizes with generosity and a lack of malice.”–Review of Politics
