Brent Waters examines the historical roots and contemporary
implications of the virtual disappearance of the family in late
liberal and Christian social and political thought. Waters argues
that the principal cause of this disappearance is late liberalism's
fixation on individual autonomy, which renders familial bonds
unintelligible. He traces the history of this emphasis, from its
origin in Hobbes and Locke, through Kant, to such contemporary
theorists as Rawls and Okin. In response, Waters offers an
alternative normative account of the family's role in social and
political ordering, drawing upon the work of Althusius, Grotius,
Dooyeweerd, and O'Donovan.
