"A central task in contemporary political philosophy is to identify principles governing
political life where citizens disagree deeply on important questions of value and,
more generally, about the proper ends of life. The distinctively liberal response
to this challenge insists that the state should as far as possible avoid relying on
such contested issues in its basic structure and deliberations. David McCabe critically
surveys influential defenses of the liberal solution and advocates modus vivendi liberalism
as an alternative defense of the liberal state. Acknowledging that the modus vivendi
approach does not provide the deep moral consensus that many liberals demand, he defends
the liberal state as an acceptable compromise among citizens who will continue to
see it as less than ideal. His book will interest a wide range of readers in political
philosophy and political theory"--Provided by publisher.
