LIBERALISM - DOMENICO LOSURDO GREGORY ELLIOT KA...

In this definitive historical investigation  Italian author and philosopher Domenico Losurdo
argues that from the outset liberalism  as a philosophical position and ideology  has been
bound up with the most illiberal of policies: slavery  colonialism  genocide  racism and
snobbery.    Narrating an intellectual history running from the eighteenth through to the
twentieth centuries  Losurdo examines the thought of preeminent liberal writers such as Locke 
Burke  Tocqueville  Constant  Bentham  and Sieyès  revealing the inner contradictions of an
intellectual position that has exercised a formative influence on today’s politics. Among the
dominant strains of liberalism  he discerns the counter-currents of more radical positions 
lost in the constitution of the modern world order.
