About The Book
Liberalism: The Basics by John Charvet is a concise and insightful guide that introduces readers to the foundational principles, values, and theoretical underpinnings of liberal political thought. Designed for accessibility without sacrificing depth, the book provides a well-structured overview of liberal practices such as the rule of law, freedom of speech and association, and economic and sexual freedom.
Divided into three comprehensive parts, the book explores:
-
Liberal Practices – highlighting key civil liberties that define liberal societies.
-
Liberal Values – focusing on freedom, autonomy, equality, and the well-being of individuals within political communities.
-
Liberal Theories – examining the philosophical foundations of liberalism, from natural rights and utilitarianism to Kantian rationalism and the modern contributions of John Rawls and post-Rawlsian thinkers.
Ideal for students and scholars of political theory, philosophy, and ideology, this book serves as both an entry point for newcomers and a thoughtful refresher for seasoned readers. Charvet’s clear and critical presentation helps readers grasp the complexities and evolution of liberalism, making this a valuable resource in understanding one of the most influential ideologies in modern politics.
