Three common assumptions of both liberal theory and political
debate are the autonomy of the family, the principle of merit, and
equality of life chances. Fishkin argues that even under the best
conditions, commitment to any two of these principles precludes the
third. "A brief survey and brilliant critique of contemporary
liberal political theory.... A must for all political theory or
public policy collections." -Choice "The strong points of Fishkin's
book are many. He raises provocative issues, locates them within a
broader theoretical framework, and demonstrates an urgent need for
liberals to set certain priorities. His main message-that
liberalism has radical implications for ordinary life-needs to be
heard by many." --Virginia L. Warren, Michigan Law Review "A highly
original and powerfully argued book.... Fishkin is undoubtedly
right, and his warning needs to be taken seriously.... This is not
a book that catechizes us about what we should believe concerning
the practicalities of distributive justice. It is a book that
advises us about how we need to think about beliefs that are
already popular dogmas, in the interest of making sense." -James
Gaffney, America James S. Fishkin is associate professor of
political science at Yale University. He is also the author of The
Limits of Obligation and Beyond Subjective Morality.
