Description
Hardcover: 120 pages (07/11/2023) Raymond Aron's Liberty and Equality is an invaluable exploration of the core values of liberal democracy. This lecture, first delivered at the Collège de France, presents Aron's views on liberty and equality as central to democratic thought. The book offers a nuanced analysis of the relationship between these two concepts, examining what he perceives as the crisis of liberal democracies. Aron discusses key aspects of his thought, including different kinds of liberties: personal, political, religious, and social. He reflects on root concepts of democracy and representative government, and articulates a notion of liberty or freedom as equal right as distinct from equal outcome. This work provides an ideal introduction to Aron's ideas and is essential reading for anyone interested in the philosophy of politics. By examining the relationship between liberty and equality, Aron opens a space for reexamining the common good in liberal democracies.
