Review: Liberalism as a Way of Life, Alexandre Lefebvre
Canadian-Australian philosopher Alexandre Lefebvre's Liberalism as a way of Life turns John Rawls into a spiritual guide
I operate a sheet metal stamping machine in a factory that manufactures hubcaps. I pull a lever and the machine stamps out a hubcap.
One day a man came to the factory. He said if I put my head into the stamping machine and turned it into a hubcap I would understand hubcaps better and be more committed to my work. He also said I'd be happier.
The man had a hubcap for a head.
Alexandre Lefebvre’s Liberalism as a Way of Life (2024) is available from Princeton University Press.
