An exclusive photographic diary of Andy Warhol's life in 1964-5.
A central task in contemporary political philosophy is to identify principles governing political life where citizens disagree deeply on important questions of value and, more generally, about the proper ends of life. The distinctively liberal response to this challenge insists that the state should as far as possible avoid relying on such contested issues in its basic structure and deliberations.

His book will interest a wide range of readers in political philosophy and political theory.

In All the Kingdoms of the World, Kevin Vallier evaluates new and radical religious alternatives to liberal democracy. In reaction to the perceived failings of liberalism, new intellectuals propose to replace our system of government with one that promotes the true faith. He focuses on the new Catholic illiberals and assesses their anti-liberal doctrine known as integralism. He then generalizes the critique of integralism to assess related doctrines in Sunni Islam and Chinese Confucianism. Vallier does not merely describe these views, but he asks whether they are true on their own terms.
