In a wide-ranging, interdisciplinary work, Paul Kahn argues that the modern political order is founded not on the social contract but on sacrifice. Liberalism's traditional reliance on the social contract is unable to explain the culmination of modern political life in the threat of complete nuclear annihilation. We can understand this modern condition only by recognizing that any political community, even a liberal one, is bound together by faith, love, and identity.</p>
Putting Liberalism in Its Place draws on philosophy, cultural theory, American constitutional law, religious and literary studies, and political psychology to advance political theory. It makes original contributions in all these fields. Not since Charles Taylor's The Sources of the Self has there been such an ambitious and sweeping examination of the deep structure of the modern conception of the self.</p>
Kahn shows that only when we move beyond liberalism's categories of reason and interest to a Judeo-Christian concept of love can we comprehend the modern self. Love is the foundation of a world of objective meaning, one form of which is the political community. Arguing from these insights, Kahn offers a new reading of the liberalism/communitarian debate, a genealogy of American liberalism, an exploration of the romantic and the pornographic, a new theory of the will, and a refoundation of political theory on the possibility of sacrifice.</p>
Approaching politics from the perspective of sacrifice allows us to understand the character of twentieth-century politics, which combined progress in the rule of law with massive slaughter for the state. Equally important, this work speaks to the most important political conflicts in the world today. It explains why American response to September 11 has taken the form of war, and why, for the most part, Europeans have been reluctant to follow the Americans in their pursuit of a violent, sacrificial politics. Kahn shows us that the United States has maintained a vibrant politics of modernity, while Europe is moving into a postmodern form of the political that has turned away from the idea of sacrifice.</p>
论题与Political Theology一致,问题意识其实还是施米特的:国家主权作为一种神圣性资源对自由主义常规状态论述的补充;将理性、利益与意志作为三种「政治心理学」的形式很有意思,Kahn很清楚这种神圣主权论述不是传统基督教式的,而是作为一种社会想象的基督教式的,说白了,Kahn在书里也承认了这是个灵知。一直存疑的是,诠释学、现象学的政治学到底指的是什么?

评分liberalism is not only a political doctrine, it is also an ontology. essentially, it is to strip out anything in the way of autonomy, thus emptying the self. they call this free to choose. Kahn warns, "you can not be everything without the risk of becoming nothing". a self, with meaning and identity, is a given one, committed one.
