Reviews

""The Belief in Intuition offers a fascinating and highly original exploration of the self in relation to freedom and authority. Juxtaposing Bergson and Scheler with figures ranging from Kant and Nietzsche to Michael Sandel and Hannah Arendt, Adriana Alfaro Altamirano presses us to rethink some basic assumptions of liberal democracy...The book’s insistent attention to the inner experience of freedom foregrounds terrain liberalism has assiduously eschewed..As much as democracy today needs to understand the depths of freedom that Alfaro Altamirano so powerfully depicts, then, perhaps there is also something to be said for what the shallowness of liberalism might supply in support."" * History of European Ideas *
