Extricating liberalism from the haze of anti-modernist and
anti-European caricature, this book traces the role of liberal
philosophy in the building of a new nation. It examines the role of
toleration, rights, and mediation in the postcolony. Through the
biographies of four Filipino scholar-bureaucrats—Camilo Osias,
Salvador Araneta, Carlos P. Romulo, and Salvador P.
Lopez—Lisandro E. Claudio argues that liberal thought served as
the grammar of Filipino democracy in the 20th century. By looking
at various articulations of liberalism in pedagogy, international
affairs, economics, and literature, Claudio not only narrates an
obscured history of the Philippine state, he also argues for a new
liberalism rooted in the postcolonial experience, a timely
intervention considering current developments in politics in
Southeast Asia.
