Exploring the tense but inevitable relationship between liberalism and authority, he advances a theory of democratic citizenship tempered by appreciation of the ways in which citizenship is implicated with and augments authority. Flathman examines the relationship of individual rights to freedom on one hand and to authority and power on the other, rejecting the quest for a single homogenous and authoritative liberal theory. 606 $aCultural pluralism 606 $aIndividualism 606 $aAuthority 606 $aLiberalism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCultural pluralism. 615 0$aIndividualism. 615 0$aAuthority. 615 0$aLiberalism. 676 $a320.5/1 700 $aFlathman$b Richard E$0126873 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910272350603321 996 $aToward a Liberalism$92428389 997 $aUNINA
