Title: Can liberalism be PC? : Duncan Ivison's "Postcolonial liberalism"
Related: Australian journal of legal philosophy, Vol. 28, Issue 2003, p.171-188
Publisher: Australian Society of Legal Philosophy
Date: 2003
Author/Creator: Reilly, Alexander
Description: In this review, I attempt to engage critically with two issues raised in the book: first, the theoretical limits of a public reason based on disagreement; and second, the potential extent of Indigenous self-determination within Ivison's model of the State. The discussion of these two issues leads me to conclude that the conjunction of postcolonialism and liberalism cannot be sustained theoretically, though the conjunction serves as a useful polemic for teasing out the limits and the potential of liberal political theory.
