Moisture damage on jacket - binding and pages fine, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA landmark work of Australian political thought, Reflections of an Australian Liberal presents the carefully considered philosophical and political meditations of Sir Frederic Eggleston, one of Australia's most distinguished statesmen and intellectuals of the twentieth century. Written with the measured authority of a man who served in both domestic politics and international diplomacy, the work argues for a distinctly Australian brand of liberalism — one grounded in pragmatism, social responsibility, and a deep commitment to democratic governance. Eggleston chronicles his evolving views on the role of the state, individual liberty, and the challenges facing liberal democracy in an era of rising ideological extremism, drawing on his firsthand experiences in law, politics, and international affairs. The tone is reflective yet incisive, blending personal memoir with rigorous political philosophy in a manner that illuminates the tensions between idealism and practical governance. A vital text for students of Australian history, political science, and the broader liberal tradition, it remains a thoughtful and enduring contribution to the intellectual heritage of the nation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887887560923,"sku":"2026200007145-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/74d9b035-ab16-4137-99e0-085b05f0868b.png?v=1781747847","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007145-secondhand-reflections-of-an-australian-liberal","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
