This book explores a series of challenging new perspectives on the
origins, development, and legacy of France's 'liberal moment'
during the second half of the twentieth century. It surveys a
significant shift in interest regarding socio-political philosophy
and culture, with the 1970s emergence of a blossoming French
curiosity about liberalism and liberal thought. While liberalism
had played an important role in French political debate prior to
this period, liberal voices were often disregarded. It was not
until this newfound fascination with liberalism by French
intellectuals-spanning from the second left to the new right-that a
French liberal revival truly occurred. In Search of the Liberal
Moment addresses this revival, its resultant resuscitation of
nineteenth-century authors like Tocqueville and Constant, its
relationship with the contemporary rise of neoliberalism in Britain
and the US, and how its adherents used liberalism to rethink the
past, present, and future of modern democracy.
