Focusing on the evolution of liberalism, Pierre Manent examines how modern liberal democracies grapple with social tensions and the implications of secularism, individualism, and rights. He argues that the democratic state's limitations in advancing social causes stem from its morally neutral stance, which fails to recognize a higher political purpose. Through concise essays, Manent delves into the decline of theological politics, offering a critical analysis of the foundations and challenges facing contemporary liberal thought.
