Idea of a Liberal Theory A Critique and Reconstruction

"David Johnston's 'The Idea of a Liberal Theory' is distinctly Rawlsian in its style and thinking. Taking a prescriptive view of political theory, and defining liberalism as a philosophy of politics rather than of man, he sets himself the task of outlining a liberal vision of the good society....Johnston's criticisms of other liberal writers are fair and perceptive, and much of his own 'humanist' liberal theory is novel and insightful, especially his modification of Rawl's primary goods and his concern to balance the demands of uniformity and plurality.Johnston, David is the author of 'Idea of a Liberal Theory A Critique and Reconstruction' with ISBN 9780691029139 and ISBN 069102913X.
