Conclusion /Zafirovski -- References /Zafirovski -- Index /Zafirovski.This is a book about modern liberal society and its adversaries. The book rediscovers and rehabilitates much maligned, especially in America, liberalism as the ideal system of liberty in relation to anti-liberalism as one of un-freedom. It rediscovers liberal modernity as a free, equal and just social system and time, thus most compatible with and enhancing of human civilization ushering in the 21st century. It exposes anti-liberal adversaries, especially conservatism, as ideologies and systems most inappropriate with and destructive of civilization. The book rediscovers liberal modernity as the master process and destination of Western civilization, and its anti-liberal adversaries, notably conservatism, as the ghosts of a dead past. The anti-liberal rumors of the ‘death’ of liberalism are ‘greatly exaggerated’.Studies in critical social sciences ;v. 10.LiberalismSocial history21st centuryElectronic books.Liberalism.Social history320.51/3Zafirovski Milan1958-504813MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453301303321Liberal modernity and its adversaries2144531UNINA
