In one, it advanced the enlightenment project of a universal civilization. In the other, it framed terms for peaceful coexistence between warring communities and different ways of life. Each of these liberal ideals of toleration, developed when a single worldview dominated society, has many historic achievements to its credit. But how relevant is traditional liberalism in a world where Kosovo represents the collapse of the spirit of cohabitation?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a spirited attack on today's liberal orthodoxies, Gray argues that establishing a \u003cem\u003emodus vivendi\u003c\/em\u003e between different cultures and regimes should be at the heart of contemporary liberalism. In this major contribution to political theory, Gray proposes a new framework for liberal thought that addresses these burning issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"New Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47614229577879,"sku":"9781565846784","price":1231.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781565846784.webp?v=1775091990","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/two-faces-of-liberalism-9781565846784","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
