The Central Liberal Truth: An Enduring Vision in a Turbulent World

In a world that is increasingly divided, it is more important than ever to have a clear understanding of the core principles that unite us. In his new book, The Central Liberal Truth, Michael J. Sandel offers a powerful and timely defense of liberalism. Sandel argues that liberalism is not simply a political ideology, but rather a set of core principles that are essential for a free and just society.

Sandel explores these principles in depth, showing how they have shaped our history and our present moment. He begins by arguing that liberalism is founded on the idea of individual rights. These rights are not absolute, but they are essential for protecting our freedom and dignity. Sandel also argues that liberalism is committed to the rule of law. The rule of law ensures that everyone is treated equally under the law, regardless of their race, religion, or gender.
