ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I owe a special debt to Leon Wieseltier, who not only read part of the manuscript but has inspired and challenged me over the years; I continue to find it amazing that Leon realized that I was a liberal before I did. Damon Linker offered extremely valuable feedback that helped me organize my chapters. Jerome Copulsky, Susan Shell, Sanford Levinson, and Bernard Yack read portions of the manuscript and offered constructive advice. Chris Beneke helped with bibliographic leads. Erik Owens engaged me in almost daily conversation. Thanks to all of them.
The staff of the Boisi Center at Boston College provided major assistance. A special thanks to Susan Richard, John Crowley-Buck, Suzanne Hevelone, and Hillary Thompson.
Andrew Stuart has been a terrific agent. Jon Segal's editing made my arguments sharper and, I hope, my examples more compelling. I also benefited from the assistance of Kyle McCarthy and Joey McGarvey.
I have learned so much from so many friends and colleagues, but I am not going to mention them all by name for fear that once I start, I will not be able to stop. I say this not to claim that I have a huge number of friends and colleagues; I mention it only because the meaning and purpose of liberalism is a topic that has engaged so many people. I hope I have added something to the discussion.
From time to time I borrowed a sentence or two—in some cases a page or two—from my previously published writings. Portions of my article “Why Conservatives Can't Govern” are reprinted here with permission from The Washington Monthly, Copyright by Washington Monthly Publishing LLC. Other material upon which I have relied includes “A Fascist Philosopher Helps Us Understand Contemporary Politics,” Chronicle of Higher Education, April 2, 2004, pp. B16-17; “What God Owes Jefferson,” The New Republic, May 23, 2005, p. 541; and “Mobilizing the Religious Left,” The New York Times Book Review, October 21, 2007, p. 23.
Jytte Klausen and I have been conducting a conversation on politics that began more than twenty-five years ago and has never stopped. Our three children have strong views of their own. That is why this book is dedicated to my family.
