Putting Liberalism in Its PlacePrinceton University Press, 2009 M01 10 - 336 páginas In this wide-ranging interdisciplinary work, Paul W. Kahn argues that political order is founded not on contract but on sacrifice.

We can understand this modern condition only by recognizing that any political community, even a liberal one, is bound together by faith, love, and identity. |
