Masking Hegemony is a critical evaluation of the use of the
public/private and religion/state binaries in liberal political
thought from the Protestant Reformation to the present. The book
demonstrates that liberalism's public/private and religion/state
binaries, designed to separate "religion" from the "state," are
about as sophisticated as talk about the "four humours" in the
human body, and may in fact mask or make invisible the influence of
dominant religious institutions on state policies. Following
theorists such as Antonio Gramsci, Michel Foucault and Pierre
Bourdieu, each of which demonstrates that dominant ideologies and
social norms can circulate indirectly and operate invisibly, Craig
Martin argues that there is inevitably a circulation of power and
authority from the so-called "private sphere" to the "public
sphere" in a liberal democracy, but that the public/private and
church/state language prevents us from bringing that circulation of
power into relief.
