Liberal democracy is currently being more widely adopted, so much so that the thesis that this regime stands at "the end of history" has become fashionable. Yet immense internal problems remain unresolved in these regimes. In "Nature and Liberty", John Zvesper explores three of these within modern liberal politics - those connected with ethnicity and race, sex and family life, and the bureaucratized government. He traces the difficulties that liberals have in dealing with these problems to the "physiphobia" - the unreasonable fear of nature - in contemporary liberal political theory. John Zvesper examines the practical problems by using evidence from the political experience of America, a regime that has often been taken to illustrate the characteristic virtues and vices of liberal democracy. The book culminates in a critique of dominant liberal theories, and a sketch of the outlines of a more adequate theory.
