Abstract:
In this essay, I will try to study the form and content of the book Against Liberalism, to show that John Kekes's work is suffering from a kind of theoretical trap that runs throughout his book. In doing so, I will follow a textualist Standpoint by which I will try to highlight the main framework of Kekes's understanding of Liberalism. I will explain that his understanding of Liberalism is fundamentally affected by his conservatist Standpoint. This affection is the main source of what I will call Kekes's Theoretical trap. The theoretical trap that ultimately leads the author to a misunderstanding on his goal, which is to present a coherent critique of liberalism, and turns his work into rhetorical statements in political debates. I have tried, as far as possible, to refrain from using my personal views on politics in this paper, especially in the face of liberalism and conservatism. John Kekes's book is in general, and in terms of scientific validity and the importance of the contribution to the subject area, has a very low validity and quality.
