Was ist Liberalismus?

Those who speak about democracy must not remain silent about liberalism. Liberal principles such as the rule of law, separation of powers, human rights, and tolerance are integral to modern democracies. Therefore, the currently much-discussed crisis of democracy is also a crisis of liberalism. Many believe that it can no longer fulfill its promises. Against the all-too-common clichés and crisis discourses surrounding liberalism, Elif Özmen's book positions itself with a systematic presentation of its philosophical foundations, normative architectures, and current controversies. It serves as a defense of liberalism as the least bad among forms of government and ways of life.
