Liberal Nötrlük Mümkün mü, Gerekli mi?

Bu makale liberal siyaset düşüncesi içinde önemli bir yer işgal eden liberal nötrlük literatürünün temel tartışmalarını aktarmakta ve bu literatürün eleştirel bir değerlendirmesini yapmaktadır. Makalenin temel tezleri şunlardır: İlk olarak, makale liberal teorisyenlerin nötrlüğü gerekçelendirmek için ikna edici argümanlar ileri süremediklerini belirtmektedir. İkinci olarak, makale liberal nötrlük teorisyenlerinin nötrlüğün mümkün olduğunu ispat etmeye çalışırken önemli istisnalar yaptıklarını ve bu istisnaların teorilerinin geçerliliğine ciddi şüphe düşürdüğünü ifade etmektedir. Üçüncü olarak, makale liberal devletin amaç ve gerekçelerinde nötrlük iddia etmesinin oluşturduğu sorunlara dikkat çekmektedir. Dördüncü olarak, makale nötrlüğün dereceleri gibi bir kavramdan bahsedilip bahsedilemeyeceğini tartışmakta ve böyle bir kavramın kullanılmasındaki sorunlara dikkat çekmektedir. Son olarak, mümkün olup olmaması bir yana, makale liberal nötrlüğün idealize edilmesinin de liberalizm ve diğer dünya görüşleri için oluşturacağı sorunlara işaret etmektedir. Genel olarak, liberalizmin, değer farklılıklarıyla tanımlanan bir dünyada kendisini nötrlük üzerinden meşrulaştıramayacağını vurgulayan makale, liberalizmin kaçınılmaz olarak sekteryen bir dünya görüşü olduğunu göstermekte ve liberalizmin dışlayıcılıklarının ve sınırlarının altını çizmektedir.
