On ne vient pas à la théorie politique par hasard. Le choix de Judith Shklar est celui d'une génération qui eut très tôt le sentiment que " la politique dominait complètement nos vies". Et sa pensée politique est l'une des plus singulières des dernières décennies du XXe siècle. Née dans une famille juive lituanienne d'expression allemande, exilée aux États-Unis à l'aube de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Judith Shklar (19281992) fut au coeur des grands tourments du siècle. Marquée par le désenchantement des années d'après-guerre, sa pensée politique s'inscrit dans la grande tradition sceptique inspirée de Montaigne. Se situant au confluent de l'Histoire et de l'éthique, prêtant une attention étroite aux dimensions psychiques du politique, elle débarrasse le libéralisme de son abstractions et de son penchant optimiste. Reconstruit selon le point de vue des victimes, son libéralisme offre un nouvel éclairage aux grandes questions du temps - la justice, la démocratie, la reconnaissance.

From her position at Harvard University's Department of Government for over thirty-five years, Judith Shklar (1928-92) taught a long list of prominent political theorists and published prolifically in the domains of modern and American political thought. She was a highly original theorist of liberalism, possessing a broad and deep knowledge of intellectual history, which informed her writing in interesting and unusual ways. Her work emerged between the "end of ideology" discussions of the 1950s and the "end of history" debate of the early 1990s. Shklar contributed significantly to social and political thought by arguing for a new, more skeptical version of liberalism that brought political theory into close contact with real-life experience.The essays collected in Between Utopia and Realism reflect on and refract Shklar's major preoccupations throughout a lifetime of thinking and demonstrate the ways in which her work illuminates contemporary debates across political theory, international relations, and law. Contributors address Shklar's critique of Cold War liberalism, interpretation of Montaigne and its connection to her genealogy of liberal morals, lectures on political obligation, focus on cruelty, and her late reflections on exile. Others consider her role as a legal theorist, her interest in literary tropes and psychological experience, and her famed skepticism.Between Utopia and Realism showcases Shklar's approach to addressing the intractable problems of social life. Her finely honed political skepticism emphasized the importance of diagnosing problems over proffering overly optimistic solutions. As this collection makes clear, her thought continues to be useful in addressing cruelty, limiting injustice, and combating the cynicism of the present moment.Contributors: Samantha Ashenden, Hannes Bajohr, James Brown, Katrina Forrester, Volker M.
