Rationalism, Pluralism, and Freedom
This week Jacob T. Levy joins us to discuss his new book, Rationalism, Pluralism and Freedom (2015).
Can rationalism and pluralism be reconciled in the liberal tradition? Why not?
How much authority is proper for intermediate groups? When does pluralism shift into illiberalism? How can the balance of power between intermediate groups be used to grow the power of a central state?
Show Notes and Further Reading
