Five More Questions for Antiliberal Conservatives. (2020). The Political Science Reviewer, 43(2), 465-486. https://politicalsciencereviewer.wisc.edu/index.php/psr/article/view/610
Abstract
This article offers a conservative defense of American liberalism against recent antiliberal conservative criticisms. After providing a brief summary of the points of agreement and disagreement in the debate thus far, it poses five questions that are intended to clarify and extend the fundamental issues in the debate. Those areas concern the relationship between theory and practice, the status of liberal institutions, the right to religious liberty, the nature of the good and pluralism, and legal equality.
