An invaluable reflection on the essence of liberal democracy—and
an ideal introduction to the work of political philosopher Raymond
Aron Liberty and Equality is the first English translation of the
last lecture delivered at the Collège de France by Raymond Aron,
one of the most influential political and social thinkers of the
twentieth century. In this important work, the most prominent
French liberal intellectual of the Cold War era presents his views
on the core values of liberal democracy: liberty and equality. At
the same time, he provides an ideal introduction to key aspects of
his thought. Ranging from Soviet ideology to Watergate, Aron
reflects on root concepts of democracy and representative
government, articulates a notion of liberty or freedom as equal
right as distinct from equal outcome, and discusses different kinds
of liberties: personal, political, religious, and social. In search
of a common truth or at least a common good, and analyzing what he
perceives as the crisis of liberal democracies, Aron opens a space
for reexamining the relation between liberty and equality.
