Civil society is one of the most hotly debated topics in
contemporary political theory. These debates often assume that a
vibrant associational life between individual and state is
essential for maintaining liberal democratic institutions. In
Uncivil Society, Richard Boyd argues-through a careful reading of
such seminal figures as Hobbes, Locke, Burke, Mill, Tocqueville,
and Oakeshott-that contemporary theorists have not only tended to
ignore the question of which sorts of groups ought to count as
"civil society" but they have also unduly discounted the
ambivalence of violent and illiberal groups in a liberal democracy.
Boyd seeks to correct this conceptual confusion by offering us a
better moral taxonomy of the virtue of civility.
