Levine, David P.,1948-

Politics without reasonthe perfect world and the liberal ideal /[electronic resource] :David P. Levine. - 1st ed. - New York, NY :Palgrave Macmillan,2008. - xi, 207 p.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [197]-201) and index.

Introduction -- Reason, desire and the self -- The flight from reason -- Family values -- Moral renewal -- Deception -- Desire without limit -- The ultimate fulfillment -- Greed, morality and corruption -- Corporate corruption -- An imperfect world.

This book explores the common thread holding together seemingly diverse tendencies in attackson liberalism. The author argues that ambivalence about the self and about desire as an expression of the self fosters the intense animosity we observe directed toward the liberal ideal. Ambivalence arises because the self is viewed as the locus of a destructive form of desire, one that must be controlled and repressed. The author argues that speaking of ambivalence toward the self is another wayof speaking of ambivalence toward freedom, an ambivalence expressed in the impulse toward coercion that plays such a powerful role in the attack on liberalism.
