In 1955 Louis Hartz published a volume titled The Liberal Tradition
in America, in which he argued that liberalism was the one and only
American tradition. Since then scholars of New Left and
neoconservative persuasion have offered an alternative account
based on the notion that the civic notions of antiquity continued
to dominate political thought in modern times. Against this
revisionist view the argument of From Classical to Modern
Liberalism is that we need to study America in comparative
perspective, and if we do so we shall discover that republicanism
in the modern world was distinctively modern, drawing upon ideas of
natural rights, consent, and social contract. Rather than a
struggle between liberalism and republicanism, we should speak
about liberal republicanism. Rather than republicanism versus
liberalism, we should address liberalism versus illiberalism, the
true issue of our age.
