The Anglo-American Tradition of Liberty: A view from Europe

Autor João Espada
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 iun 2016
Joao Carlos Espada's provocative survey of a group of key Anglo-American and European political thinkers argues that there is a distinctive, Anglo-American tradition of liberty that is one of the core pillars of the Free World. Giving a broad overview of the tradition through summaries of the careers and ideas of fourteen of its key thinkers, neglected despite having been tremendously influential in the tradition of liberty, the author engages with current set ideas about the meaning of 'liberal' and 'conservative' to offer an engaging, intellectual case for liberal democracy.

Recenzii

"The Anglo-American Tradition of Liberty is an enlightening book which is a very worthwhile read for those seeking an understanding of the peculiar English-speaking political culture that combines “a love of liberty, combined with sense of duty." - Bradtolppanen, A Blog on Winston Churchill

A personal, perceptive and illuminating journey by a continental European admirer of the Anglo-American tradition of liberty. He conducts us, both intellectually and personally through the lives and works of some of its greatest thinkers. A delightful book.
Timothy Garton Ash, Professor of European Studies, University of Oxford, UK & Senior Fellow Hoover Institution, Stanford University, USA
Practical reason must be defended on its own terms and not merely as the residue of a noble tradition. So the necessary critique of rationalism must culminate in a recovery of authentic reason, beginning with practical reason. Espada’s book, an act of intellectual recovery of a high order, helpfully points in the right direction.
Daniel J. Mahoney, Augustine Chair in Distinguished Scholarship, Assumption College, Worcester, MA, USA
