Abstract
In this paper, I provide a sketch of the republican view of freedom and government.
And then, looking forward, I highlight the potential of this long, shared tradition of thinking
for contemporary politics. As a philosophy of government, so I argue, neo-republicanism
offers a very attractive alternative to the neo-liberalism that has been recently dominant
in policy circles.
In my discussion, I consider republicanism first, liberalism second, since that answers
to the historical order in which the doctrines appeared. The paper is in three main
sections. In the first, I provide a short history of classic republican thinking. In a second,
briefer section, I describe the rise of classical liberalism, which displaced republican
thought over the following century. And in the third, I look at the alternatives represented
in contemporary thought by neo-republicanism and neo-liberalism, highlighting what
I see as the advantages of the neo-republican approach.
