Embedding Silence into Politics
How silence relates to politics has traditionally been connected to the dismissal of silence from politics. However, there is a growing recognition that this representation of silence as absence is harmful to our ability to think through the integral and productive role that silences play in political life. This book exchange contributes to this shift in theorising that emerges from the field of ‘silence studies’. To this end, the following excha…
David Marquand's Deep Liberalism
David Marquand's deep liberalism was both political and personal. His advocacy of dissent signalled a set of values endemic to the liberal mind: querying, challenging, demanding intellectual and social accountability, taking on stultifying establishments. His idea of community was based on social inclusivity, drawing on the new liberalism of the early twentieth century that facilitated individual potential through an enabling, democratic welfare …

Ideología
Los estudios sobre ideología han sufrido una transformación considerable en los últimos treinta años. Nuevas metodologías y aproximaciones han moldeado las percepciones e interpretaciones que puede formular y que la han situado como una categoría principal del pensamiento político. Más recientemente, sin embargo, la producción y la difusión de ideologías han adoptado formas novedosas que suponen un desafío incluso a las últimas manifestaciones de…

Concealed Silences and Inaudible Voices in Political Thinking
This book investigates silence as a normal, ubiquitous, and indispensable element of political thinking, theory, and language. It explores the diverse dimensions in which silences mould the different core features of the political—by summoning up finality, by contributing to rendering support for communities or withholding it, by processing consent or dissent, by the manner in which it secures continuities or generates ruptures, and by its role i…

Two branches of discourse studies, critical discourse analysis (CDA) and discourse theory (DT), could benefit through extending their critical focus and incorporating findings and methodologies of neighbouring disciplines. While indebted to the attentiveness of CDA to ordinary language, ideology studies have by contrast developed interpretative, non-judgmental analytical frameworks that explore the many-faceted features of ideology, power, and th…

Diluted Liberalisms and Emaciated Neutralities
Laborde’s Liberalism’s Religion focuses on a philosophical understanding of liberalism infused with the constitutional and legal characteristics of the USA . It cannot, however, contain other weighty patterns of liberal thinking evident in actual and commonly prevalent thought-practices, irreducible to freedom and equality alone. The free development of individuality is also fundamental to a humanist liberal version, and it now entails the right …

Filosofía política e ideología
Este trabajo examina la relación entre los campos de la filosofía moral y política y el estudio de las ideologías. Comienza por abordar una serie de reservas que los filósofos tienen usualmente sobre el estatuto científico de la investigación sobre ideologías. Procede a continuación a destacar el estilo singular de la investigación filosófica: su continuidad sin ruptura entre el estudio de la filosofía y los argumentos que examina, que contrasta …

Liberalism is one of the most central and pervasive political theories and ideologies, yet it is subject to different interpretations as well as misappropriations. Its history carries a crucial heritage of civilized thinking, of political practice, and of philosophical-ethical creativity. Liberalism: A Very Short Introduction unpacks the concept of liberalism and its various interpretations through three diverse approaches. Looking at its histori…

The New Liberalism
This book examines the advent of the new liberalism in late Victorian and Edwardian times, challenging accepted views about its development. Freeden analyzes concepts of community, welfare, and state regulation in political theory and stresses the contribution of biological and evolutionary ideas to changing liberal attitudes.
Is Nationalism a Distinct Ideology
Whether or not nationalism is an ideology is a question that can be illuminated by a study of its conceptual structure. Core and adjacent concepts of nationalism are examined within the context of liberal, conservative and fascist ideologies, contexts that respectively encourage particular ideational paths within nationalist argument, while discouraging others. Employing a morphological analysis of ideological configurations, it is argued that va…

Ideology and political theory
Ideology, and its study, have been subject to an interpretational tug-of-war among political theorists that, until recently, has devalued their status as an object of scholarship. Disputes have raged over the scientific standing of ideology, its epistemological status, and its totalitarian and liberal manifestations. Many political philosophers have eschewed its group orientation, and the more recent interest of students of ideology in ordinary p…
Eugenics and Progressive Thought
The issues raised by eugenics are of more than passing interest for the student of political thought. In itself a minor offshoot of turn-of-the-century socio-biological thought which never achieved ideological ‘take-off’ in terms of influence or circulation, there was certainly more in eugenics than nowadays meets the eye. The following pages propose to depart from the over-simplistic identification of eugenics, as political theory, with racism o…

Confronting the chimera of a ‘post‐ideological’ age
Ideologies are still very much in evidence, although some of their configurations are novel. Their denial typifies utopian and neutralist approaches, but those are instances of misrecognition. Liberal epistemology (as distinct from liberal theory) has contributed to an awareness of ideological diversity, but also to the possibility of choice among ideologies, as items of eclectic – and occasionally inventive – consumption. Pluralism may hence bec…
Biological and Evolutionary Roots of the New Liberalism in England

Failures of Political Thinking
The article investigates failures of political thinking as a normal and endemic phenomenon, yet one that is theoretically under-conceptualised. It postulates three criteria for such failure: (1) the failure to deliver ideationally what the political theory in question has itself undertaken through its creator(s) to deliver; (2) the failure to take on board the constraints imposed on the initial construction of a theory or argument by the features…

European Liberalisms
After examining different liberal narratives and suggesting that liberalism is open to a range of legitimate methodologies, the fluidity of liberalism is offered as a basis for a study in comparative political thought. Ten propositions on liberalism's structural and semantic features are listed and brought to bear on its adaptations, appropriations and misappropriations in Europe. They are tested in relation to various combinations of liberal com…

Central to thinking politically are languages that support, or withhold support from, the core political domain. Contesting conceptualizations of support, such as political obligation, allegiance, loyalty and commitment, produce different understandings of the mobilization relationship that constitutes and sustains that centre, whether directed at formal state‐entities, constitutions, rulers, policy‐makers, or fundamental social values.
