The book critiques contemporary liberal philosophy, questioning why political philosophers often avoid engaging with politics. It addresses essential topics such as state legitimacy, value-pluralism, and the role of morality in politics. Through an analysis of prominent liberal theorists like Rawls and Habermas, Glen Newey contends that liberalism neglects the complexities of human motivation and prioritizes theoretical constructs over the practical realities of conflict and power dynamics. This work challenges readers to reconsider the foundations and implications of liberal thought.
