{"product_id":"individualism-and-the-social-order-charles-mccann-9780415326278","title":"Individualism and the Social Order: The Social Element in Liberal Thought","description":"Liberalism is typically misconceived as a philosophy of individualism, which cannot accept that man exists in society and that man's values are shaped by that society. This book attempts to identify the role of community and society in the political and social thought of leading liberal social philosophers of the 19th and 20th centuries including John Stuart Mill, Herbert Spencer and Friedrich A. von Hayek. While differing as to the nature of man and society, each thinker examined holds the basic premise that man is not an isolated creature whose life is 'nasty, brutish and short' but rather that his motivations are dependent upon his place in a social order.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles McCann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415326273\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415326278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.36w x 0.72d","brand":"Charles McCann","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136072429823,"sku":"9780415326278","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_60e28853-7b48-4d02-ba4f-64c0f6f2eeae.jpg?v=1770160325","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/individualism-and-the-social-order-charles-mccann-9780415326278","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
