Flathman examines the relationship of individual rights to freedom on one hand and to authority and power on the other, rejecting the quest for a single homogenous and authoritative liberal theory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cornell University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46893860192407,"sku":"9780801422430","price":6834.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780801422430.webp?v=1770319461","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/toward-a-liberalism-9780801422430","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
