Richard E. Flathman is a ground-breaking theorist of key political
concepts, a fierce defender of individuality, a close and original
reader of Hobbes and an advocate of a willful conception of
liberalism. In this volume P E Digeser draws together some of his
key works. The collection is framed by an introduction and an
interview with Flathman, where he reflects on his contributions. By
thinking through and with Wittgenstein's later philosophy of
language, his work clarifies and refines terms that are central to
politics and to the tradition of political thought. His work also
seeks to cure certain persistent muddles and confusions in our
political concepts as well as create and defend a space for the
opaque and opalescent features of ourselves. Flathman advances a
liberalism that is more open to and celebratory of the
idiosyncratic as well as to voices not ordinarily associated with
the liberal tradition. The editor has focused on her work in three
key areas: The first part focuses on Flathman as a theorist of
meaning and presents excepts from his analyses of quality,
authority, and rights; The second part focuses on his contributions
to understanding the meaning and value of freedom; The final part
presents selections that illustrate his conception of liberalism
and individuality. Helping to highlight how the innovations in
Flathman's thought have shaped the field of political theory, this
collection will be of interest to students and scholars.
