Liberal Variants Of Communitarianism
Mots-clés :
communitarianism, liberalism, nation, liberal communitarianism, liberal nationalismRésumé
In political philosophy, in order to obtain a balanced view, concepts that seem opposite are sometimes hybridized. Liberal communitarianism is the result of such a process. It attempts to reconcile liberal principles and values with the theses of communitarianism regarding the importance of community identity, cultural framework and social responsibility. Instead of the tensions between cosmopolitan liberal views, centered on individuals and those centered on community specifics, liberal communitarianism proposes a synthesis. We are, in equal measure, individuals and social beings. Suggestions of liberal communitarianism can contribute to identifying solutions that, through their moderation and reasonableness, will be able to achieve broad social agreements, which are increasingly necessary in the context of ideological radicalism and of the current intense political polarization.
