They concluded that, far from offering a solution to these problems, the ideals of the Enlightenment, including emancipation and equality, had instead created them. The historian of political thought Samuel Moyn argues that the liberal intellectuals of the Cold War era--among them Isaiah Berlin, Gertrude Himmelfarb, Karl Popper, Judith Shklar, and Lionel Trilling--transformed liberalism but left a disastrous legacy for our time. In his iconoclastic style, Moyn outlines how Cold War liberals redefined the ideals of their movement and renounced the moral core of the Enlightenment for a more dangerous philosophy: preserving individual liberty at all costs. In denouncing this stance, as well as the recent nostalgia for Cold War liberalism as a means to counter illiberal values, Moyn presents a timely call for a new emancipatory and egalitarian liberal philosophy--a path to undoing the damage of the Cold War and to ensuring the survival of liberalism."--Dust jacket. 650 0 $a Liberalism $y 20th century $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Cold War $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Intellectuals $x History $y 20th century. 650 6 $a LibeÌralisme $y 20e sieÌcle $x Philosophie. 650 6 $a Guerre froide $x Philosophie. 650 6 $a Intellectuels $x Histoire $y 20e sieÌcle. 650 7 $a Intellectuals $2 fast 650 7 $a Liberalism $x Philosophy $2 fast 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Moyn, Samuel. $t Liberalism against itself. $d New Haven ; London : Yale University Press, [2023] $z 9780300274943 $w (OCoLC)1393241017 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724030235.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=78FD51DE498311EFAB853F282BECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
