An up-to-date critical survey of Liberal political theory, this book explores the historical development of the Liberal tradition and the challenges it faces in the 21st-century. In Liberalism, Enzo Rossi explores the full range of of philosophical arguments for Liberal political practice. Along the way he covers theorists such as Locke and Rawls, who ground political legitimacy in consensus, and those such as Mill, Raz and Sen who derve political principles from moral ones. From this historical and theoretical overview, the book goes on to explore how Liberal ideas can help us approach such key contemporary challenges as free trade, migration and multiculturalism and climate change.
