This book reclaims Cultural Liberalism as an important part of
Australian intellectual heritage. Arguing that the tradition is
central to the Australian experience of modernity, Gregory
Melleuish traces the impact of cultural liberalism from its
emergence around the time of Federation to its demise during the
1960s. Part collective biography, part intellectual and cultural
history, the book describes the development of cultural liberalism,
founded on rationalism and humanism, by university-educated
intellectuals. Dr Melleuish argues that a religious and spiritual
dimension was also central to the tradition. He draws attention to
the intellectual similarities of thinkers not usually grouped
together, and also considers those who inherited the tradition but
repudiated it. This provocative book will make an important
contribution to debates about culture, identity and citizenship in
post-modern Australia.
