Description for Liberalism and the Defence of Political Constructivism
Paperback. Num Pages: 201 pages, biography. BIC Classification: HPS; JPA. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 229 x 152. .
Contemporary liberal political justification is often accused of preaching to the converted: liberal principles are acceptable only to people already committed to liberal values. Catriona McKinnon addresses this important criticism by arguing that self-respect and its social conditions should be placed at the heart of the liberal approach to justification. A commitment to self-respect delivers a commitment to the liberal values of toleration and public reason, but self-respect itself is not an exclusively liberal value.
