Liberalism, ideally founded on self-interest moderated by reason and emotions like patriotism, self-sacrifice, and empathy, is under strain. William A. Galston argues that defending liberal democracy necessitates understanding the dark forces that liberal institutions seek to silence: fear, humiliation, anger, resentment, hatred, and the urge to dominate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn challenging times, these intense passions become powerful motivators, leading to actions ranging from voting to violence. Across the democratic globe, institutional defenses face challenges from a new generation of demagogues. Acknowledging the high stakes, Galston emphasizes the need for responsive public policies complemented by persuasive rhetoric and a realistic understanding of political psychology—shedding the illusion that reason or positive sentiments like empathy, solidarity, and love can consistently govern public affairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46871309943020,"sku":"9780300282290","price":59.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/24820643482294.jpg?v=1759874896","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/anger-fear-domination-by-william-a-galston-9780300282290","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
