Judith N. Shklar on Facts - Dictionary of Arguments
Morozov I 121 Facts/Truth/truthfulness/Liberalism/Shklar, J. N. Morozov: the political philosopher Judith Shklar wrote a whole book, Ordinary Vices (1), in which she argued that a war against hypocrisy is a senseless and counterproductive undertaking, because hypocrisy is a structural condition that makes liberalism possible. >Liberalism. The liberal reformers, she argued, should stop focusing on hypocrisy and pursue other problems, especially cruelty. Liberalism/Politics/Shklar/Morozov: The paradox of liberal democracy ((s) according to Shklar) is that it promotes hypocrisy because the politics of persuasion work... requires a certain amount of dissimulation on the part of all speakers. On the other hand, the structure of open political competition exaggerates the importance and prevalence of hypocrisy, because it is the vice to which all parties can and do blame each other. >Democracy. Truth/Politics/Shklar/Morozov: It is not at all clear that eager openness would serve liberal politics particularly well. >Truth. 1. Judith N. Shklar, Ordinary Vices (Cambridge, UK: Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 1985)._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
