This is partly due to a complex mutation in the concept of liberal democracy itself, and the resulting divide is now so wide that those holding to either philosophy on a whole range of topics: on democracy, on reason, on abortion, on human nature, on homosexuality and gay marriage, on freedom, on the role of courts and much more, can barely speak with each other without outrage (the favorite emotional response from all sides). Clearly, civil conversation at the surface has been failing -- and that could mean democracy is failing. 650 0 $a Liberalism. 650 0 $a Conservatism. 650 0 $a Right and left (Political science) 941 $a 6 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230704012353.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826110624.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20160407023944.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20150609013351.0 952 $l PRAX771 $d 20150502024245.0 952 $l YKPE532 $d 20150310010350.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DC8D05D0C6EA11E49F9D8ABADAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
