"Another Liberalism" contributes an original perspective to
debates about the nature and foundations of liberal thought. In it
Nancy Rosenblum describes the dynamic of romanticism and liberalism
as one of mutual opposition and reconciliation. She argues that
romanticism sees liberalism as cold, contractual, and aloof. And
conventional liberal legalism disdains romanticism's longing for
all that is personal, unique, and expressive.
We learn, however, that romanticism, chastened by its excesses
and frustrated by its failures, can "come home" to liberalism. We
also learn that liberalism can accommodate individuality and
expressivity, reclaiming what it had repressed. Rosenblum creates a
typology of romantic reconstructions of liberal thought: heroic
individualism, communitarianism, and a new face of pluralism.
The author draws on nineteenth--and twentieth--century
philosophy and literature: on Thoreau, Humboldt, Constant,
Stendhal, and Mill, among others, and on contemporary political
theorists for whom romanticism is a source not only of aversion to
liberalism but also of resources for reform.
