This is a book about modern liberal society and its adversaries.
The book rediscovers and rehabilitates much maligned, especially in
America, liberalism as the ideal system of liberty in relation to
anti-liberalism as one of un-freedom. It rediscovers liberal
modernity as a free, equal and just social system and time, thus
most compatible with and enhancing of human civilization ushering
in the 21st century. It exposes anti-liberal adversaries,
especially conservatism, as ideologies and systems most
inappropriate with and destructive of civilization. The book
rediscovers liberal modernity as the master process and destination
of Western civilization, and its anti-liberal adversaries, notably
conservatism, as the ghosts of a dead past. The anti-liberal rumors
of the 'death' of liberalism are 'greatly exaggerated'.
