The Liberalism of Fear
Book • 1989
In 'The Liberalism of Fear,' Judith Shklar presents a pragmatic liberalism that places cruelty as the supreme vice to be avoided above all else, drawing from her experiences as an exile amid 20th-century totalitarianism.
This approach prioritizes freedom from fear, public independence, and institutional safeguards against injustice over abstract philosophical systems or pursuits of perfection.
It offers a realistic defense of liberal politics focused on mitigating the gravest human evils in an uncertain world.
