Modus Vivendi Liberalism is ambitious, thoughtfully organized, and challenging, constructing a consistent and well-defended narrative characterized by a high level of rigor, and providing a model of probing philosophical argumentation. McCabe’s overall achievement is substantial for his persuasive argument for modus vivendi liberalism as an alternative defense of the liberal state. (pp. 282–284)
