What is liberalism in the post-9/11 world? What do the ideals of
civilization and civility mean during the Bush administration's
campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq? Is liberalism still important?
Cornell examines the most important scholars of today and their
approach to these questions. She contrasts Amartya Sen's
capabilities approach with that of Martha Nussbaum, and examines
Adorno's salvaging the idea of progress. She critiques Richard
Falk's justification of the bombing of Afghanistan, which has now
led to the slippery slope that Falk feared and could not defend
against. Cornell also examines the ideal of civility as defined by
Etienne Balibar and Thomas Nagel, with important implications for
the world community.
