The Last Word on the Third Way -- Notes -- Index."Taking as his starting point Robert Frost's accusation that a liberal is someone who can't take his own side in an argument, Steven Lukes confronts liberal thought with its own limitations. The essays in this collection focus on the perennial but newly urgent questions of how the tension between relativism and the moral universalism current in contemporary politics can be resolved within the framework of liberalism." "While recognizing the dangers of moral imperialism, Lukes argues that a relativist position based on identifying clearly distinct cultural and moral communities is incoherent. Drawing on work in anthropology and philosophy, he examines the nature of social justice, the politics of identity and human rights theory, as well as discussing how ideas drawn from the work of Isaiah Berlin can shed light on these debates."--Jacket.LiberalismPolitical sciencePhilosophyEthical relativismLiberalism.Political sciencePhilosophy.Ethical relativism.320.51Lukes Steven156548MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910162697503321Liberals and cannibals1377852UNINA
