This book is a companion volume to the author's earlier book, Liberalisms:

This book is a companion volume to the author's earlier book, Liberalisms: Essays in Political Philosophy, in which he considered recent versions of doctrinal liberalism, according to which liberal institutions framed the only legitimate regime for the whole world, and found them all flawed irreparably; in this book he provides a more substantive statement of a successor-theory to liberalism, in which liberal practice is defended not as the application of a universal political morality but as an historical inheritance which meets human needs in the context of late modernity (blue cover with white lettering, very slight edgewear, otherwise a bright, clean, tight copy)
