Back Cover In this book, Talisse critically evaluates liberalism, the dominant attempt in the tradition of political philosophy to provide a philosophical foundation for democracy. Combining recent work on deliberative democracy with C.S. Peirces pragmatism, Talisse argues that there is a need for a post-liberal account of democracy. Although the resulting view is not liberal, it eschews the problems confronting communitarianism by insisting that the formative role of the state is epistemological rather than moral. Author Biography Robert Talisse is Assistant Professor of PHilosophy at Vanderbilt University. He has written several books including On Dewey (2000), On Rawls (2001) and On James(2004). He is also the co-editor of the forthcoming American Philosophy: An Encyclopedia (Routledge). Table of Contents Acknowledgements Preface 1. What Liberalism Is 2. Tension in Liberal Theory 3.

Towards a Deliberative Culture Works Cited Review "No one wishing to possess a concise yet conceptually comprehensive account of the questions bedeviling liberalism will be disappointed with Robert B. Talisses Democracy After Liberalism." -- New Political Science "A concise and clear assessment of contemporary political theory...This is a book to be read with profit by professor, student, and layperson alike. Talisse skillfully summarizes debates that fill shelves of books, providing accounts that not only are conceptually clear but also frame the debate for further investigation...The virtue of Democracy After Liberalism is that it successfully clarifies the positions and the stakes of contemporary debates in political philosophy. In the end, Talisse himself cannot be said to have offered more than one highly plausible and engaging resolution to the confusion of political ideas in which we live. This is no mean accomplishment, and Democracy After Liberalism makes for rewarding reading... Liberalism is not finished yet; not in fact and certainly not within the form of deliberativism set forth in Talisses excellent book." --Project Muse Details ISBN0415950198 Short Title DEMOCRACY AFTER LIBERALISM Pages 176 Language English ISBN-10 0415950198 ISBN-13 9780415950190 Media Book Format Paperback DEWEY 321.8 Year 2004 Imprint Routledge Subtitle Pragmatism and Deliberative Politics Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom Edition 1st DOI 10.1604/9780415950190 AU Release Date 2004-11-10 NZ Release Date 2004-11-10 UK Release Date 2004-11-10 Author Robert Talisse Publisher Taylor & Francis Ltd Publication Date 2004-11-10 Alternative 9780415950183 Audience Tertiary & Higher Education We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
