"Liberalisms" aims to provide a coherent and comprehensive analytical guide to liberal thinking of the past century and considers the dominance of liberal thought in Anglo-American political philosophy between 1970 and 1990. John Gray assesses the work of all the major liberal political philosophers, including J.S. Mill, Herbert Spencer, Karl Popper, F.A. Hayek, John Rawls and Robert Nozick, and explores their mutual connections and differences. This book should be of interest to lecturers and students of political theory and the history of political thought.
