Political realism has recently moved to the centre of debates in
contemporary political theory. In this monograph, Matt Sleat
presents the first comprehensive overview of the resurgence of
interest in realist political theory and develops a unique and
original defence of liberal politics in realist terms. Through
explorations of the work of a diverse range of thinkers, including
Bernard Williams, John Rawls, Raymond Geuss, Judith Shklar, John
Gray, Carl Schmitt and Max Weber, the author advances a theory of
liberal realism that is consistent with the realist emphasis on
disagreement and conflict yet still recognisably liberal in its
concern with respecting individuals' freedom and constraining
political power. The result is a unique contribution to the ongoing
debates surrounding realism and an original and timely re-imagining
of liberal theory for the twenty-first century. This provocative
work will be of interest to students and all concerned with the
possibility of realising liberalism and its moral aspirations in
today's world. -- .
