Liberalism and Affirmative Obligation cover

Patricia Smith considers what a consistently liberal view of affirmative obligation would have to be in order to accommodate liberal commitments to freedom and justice and also account for longstanding issues that are central to liberal democratic society. Patricia Smith argues that taking these institutions seriously requires the rejection of atomistic individualism and, instead, the acceptance of a moderate view of social obligation.

A well-written, convincing, and sensible book....Recommended for academic collections supporting undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty. * Choice *
