In this episode, we dive into Philip Pettit’s Republicanism from 1997, which argued that republicanism and liberalism are not the fast friends many assume them to be. However, many liberal and left philosophers think that neo-republicanism is just riding the coattails of liberalism or that it’s just another bourgeois moralism. So what’s the big deal? And how radical can republicanism be?  This is just a short clip from the full episode, which is available to our subscribers on Patreon: patreon.com/leftofphilosophy References: Philip Pettit, Republicanism: A Theory of Freedom and Government (Oxford University Press, 1997).
