After Politics

Meer over het boek

Examining the disconnect between political philosophy and practical politics, this book critiques contemporary liberalism by addressing its shortcomings in understanding state legitimacy, value-pluralism, and morality. Glen Newey analyzes prominent liberal theorists, arguing that their focus on theoretical constructs neglects the complexities of human motivation and the realities of political conflict and power. This work challenges the prevailing academic approach, advocating for a more engaged understanding of politics that acknowledges its inherent challenges.
