\u00c9tat et d\u00e9tails de cet exemplaire<\/h2>\n

From one of the country\u2019s most admired political thinkers, an urgent wake-up call to American liberals to turn from the divisive politics of identity and develop a vision of our future that can persuade all citizens that they share a common destiny.<\/p>\n

In The Once and Future Liberal, Mark Lilla offers an impassioned, tough-minded, and stinging look at the failure of American liberalism over the past two generations. Although there have been Democrats in the White House, and some notable policy achievements, for nearly 40 years the vision that Ronald Reagan offered\u2014small government, lower taxes, and self-reliant individualism\u2014has remained the country\u2019s dominant political ideology. And the Democratic Party has offered no convincing competing vision in response.<\/p>\n

Instead, as Lilla argues, American liberalism fell under the spell of identity politics, with disastrous consequences. Driven originally by a sincere desire to protect the most vulnerable Americans, the left has now unwittingly balkanized the electorate, encouraged self-absorption rather than solidarity, and invested its energies in social movements rather than in party politics.<\/p>\n

With dire consequences. Lilla goes on to show how the left\u2019s identity-focused individualism insidiously conspired with the amoral economic individualism of the Reaganite right to shape an electorate with little sense of a shared future and near-contempt for the idea of the common good. In the contest for the American imagination, liberals have abdicated.<\/p>\n

Now they have an opportunity to reset. The left is motivated, and the Republican Party, led by an unpredictable demagogue, is in ideological disarray. To seize this opportunity, Lilla insists, liberals must concentrate their efforts on recapturing our institutions by winning elections. The time for hectoring is over. It is time to reach out and start persuading people from every walk of life and in every region of the country that liberals will stand up for them. We must appeal to \u2013 but also help to rebuild \u2013 \u00a0a sense of common feeling among Americans, and a sense of duty to each other.<\/p>\n

A fiercely-argued, no-nonsense book, enlivened by Lilla\u2019s acerbic wit and erudition, The Once and Future Liberal is essential reading for our momentous times.<\/p>\n

R\u00e9sum\u00e9 de The Once and Future Liberal After Identity Politics<\/h2>\n

Dans cet essai, Mark Lilla adresse un appel pressant aux lib\u00e9raux am\u00e9ricains. Selon lui, depuis pr\u00e8s de quarante ans, la vision port\u00e9e par Ronald Reagan, faite de petit \u00c9tat, d'imp\u00f4ts r\u00e9duits et d'individualisme, demeure l'id\u00e9ologie dominante, faute de projet concurrent cr\u00e9dible du Parti d\u00e9mocrate. Il attribue une part de cet \u00e9chec \u00e0 la politique identitaire : anim\u00e9e \u00e0 l'origine par le souci de prot\u00e9ger les plus vuln\u00e9rables, la gauche aurait fragment\u00e9 l'\u00e9lectorat, encourag\u00e9 le repli sur soi plut\u00f4t que la solidarit\u00e9, et privil\u00e9gi\u00e9 les mouvements sociaux au d\u00e9triment de la politique partisane. L'auteur montre aussi comment cet individualisme identitaire a rejoint l'individualisme \u00e9conomique de la droite, au d\u00e9triment du bien commun. Son ouvrage plaide pour un r\u00e9cit collectif capable de convaincre tous les citoyens qu'ils partagent un destin commun.<\/p>\n
