“By downplaying or marginalizing the range of left-liberal opinions which he considers beyond the pale, Sunstein seems to reject the possibility that a more transformative egalitarian politics, even a socialist politics, might still be a liberal politics.” www.liberalcurrents.com/liberalism-o...

Continuing the debate on liberal socialism, Yanis Iqbal replies to Matt McManus' response to the former's critique of the concept.

"It’s time to remind ourselves of just what liberalism is and what are its basic features." (from 2017)

My response to Yanis Iqbal's critique of liberal socialism and me is up @cosmonautmag.bsky.social

The humanist premise of Matt McManus' "liberal socialism" precludes effective socialist strategy, argues Yanis Iqbal.

Pleased to announce I just signed a contract with @uofmpress.bsky.social to complete a new book "Liberal Socialism: A Defense." With an introduction by the great Alexandre Lefebvre.

The book will round out an (unplanned) trilogy by providing a Rawlsian/Marxist argument for liberal socialism.

My colleague Mikayla Novak has a new edited volume out called "Liberal Emancipation."

She has brought together a great group of scholars, including @erwindekker.bsky.social, @ottolehto.bsky.social, and even me, to analyze the emancipatory aspects of liberalism!

Read on to learn what I argue... 🧵

Paperback day for Liberalism as a Way of Life, @princetonupress.bsky.social

I’ve been moved and amazed by the book’s reception—thank you to everyone who’s read, taught, or shared it.

If you’re so inclined, give it one more repost for the road.

Very interesting discussion by @corymassimino.bsky.social arguing liberal socialism should be left-anarchist. Worth pondering.

‘Rawls is often treated as an austere theorist of justice, but I wanted to recover the moral and even spiritual warmth at the heart of his liberalism — and Aeon was the perfect place to do that’, – @lefebvrealex.bsky.social, winner of the Australasian Association of Philosophy’s Media Prize
