“Liberalism is, on the one hand, a range of possible institutional arrangements aimed at protecting the rights and overall freedom of the individuals who live in a country. To be committed to these institutions is precisely to be against the kind of thick, small-r republicanism or jingoistic nationalism that Schliesser criticizes. A liberal conception of citizenship in this sense is minimal and, critically, not at odds with social difference of all kinds. Liberal institutions make room for the reality of pluralism within the rule of law.” (08/14/25)
