This book challenges us to look at liberal political ideas in a
fresh way. Colin Bird examines the assumption, held both by
liberals and by their strongest critics, that the values and ideals
of the liberal political tradition cohere around a distinctively
'individualist' conception of the relation between individuals,
society and the state. He concludes that the formula of 'liberal
individualism' conceals fundamental conflicts between liberal views
of these relations, conflicts that neither liberals nor their
critics have adequately recognized. His interesting and provocative
study develops a powerful criticism of the libertarian forms of
'liberal individualism' which have risen to prominence, and
suggests that by taking this term for granted, theorists have
exaggerated the unity and integrity of liberal political ideals and
limited our perception of the issues they raise.
