Description: This book seeks to salvage liberalism, as a form of political association and as a unique culture, from the wreck of the Enlightenment. Following the lead of John Rawls's work since 1980, Bridges seeks to rethink the fundamental concepts and moral ideas of liberalism in ways that support the recovery and affirmation of the particularistic cultural identity of the West.
