Abstract

In The Republican Dilemma, I argue that contemporary republicans fail in their attempts to distinguish their theories from a liberalism fundamentally concerned with individuals' pure negative freedom. I also show how achieving such a break from liberalism takes republicanism towards a political ideal unsuited for modern pluralistic societies. In this paper, I reply to four commentators and their challenges to core arguments in my book.
