'A well argued and clearly written critique of liberal political
theory, organized around its leading concepts -very accessible for
student use.' Professor David Beetham. In this book Maureen Ramsay
provides an accessible and comprehensive critique of the key
concepts that underpin liberal political philosophy. Each chapter
tackles a different concept and analyses the contribution of
representative thinkers in seventeenth- and eighteenth- century
liberal thought, and contemporary developments and modifications to
classical librealism. The purpose of each chapter is to evaluate
the concepts and theories central to the liberal tradition from a
variety of critical perspectives, in order to expose the empirical,
theoretical, practical and moral deficiencies at the heart of
liberal thought. The arguments presented here challenge the
validity of liberal political ideas, values, institutions and
policies, and demonstrate the bankruptcy of liberalism in theory
and preactice. This book will be essential reading for students of
politics, government and moral and political philosophy. Maureen
Ramsay is Senior Lecturer in Political Theory at the University of
Leeds.
