126This challenge has toppled more than one exceptionally competent political theorist. To this day one of the primary objections levelled against figures like Alasdair MacIntyre is their conflation of liberal theory as presented in canonical works with praxis. Ironically such critics of liberalism actually take its philosophical justifications too strictly at their word, while missing the nuanced ways in which liberal societies have adapted themselves to reconcile a variety of competing tendencies. This objection has been prominently raised in recent times by Fawcett, who insists that liberal theory is but one element of the broader tradition and politics of liberalism. See Edmund Fawcett. Liberalism: The Life of An Idea: Second Edition. (Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2018).
