Opis

In his earlier work, Against Liberalism, philosopher John Kekes argued that liberalism as a political system is doomed to failure by its internal inconsistencies. In this companion volume, he makes the case for conservatism as the best alternative. Conservatism, he maintains, is concerned with the political arrangements that enable members of a society to live good lives. These political arrangements are based on scepticism about ideologies, pluralism about values, traditionalism about institutions, and pessimism about human perfectibility.
