On peut toujours croire que l\u2019on a de bonnes raisons d\u2019accepter une certaine conception de ce qui donne un sens \u00e0 la vie. On peut donc se sentir autoris\u00e9 \u00e0 pr\u00e9tendre que ceux qui rejettent une telle conception sont dans l\u2019erreur. Mais il serait quand m\u00eame idiot de ne pas s\u2019attendre \u00e0 ce que pareille conception soit contest\u00e9e au cours d\u2019une discussion calme et pr\u00e9cise. La question des conditions dans lesquelles les hommes peuvent n\u00e9anmoins vivre ensemble au sein d\u2019une association politique a donc \u00e9t\u00e9 une question essentielle pour la th\u00e9orie lib\u00e9rale.\u00a0\u00bb Charles Larmore<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0\u00bbChaque individu s\u2019imagine \u00eatre absolument libre, d\u00e9sengag\u00e9 et seul.

Son but est la s\u00e9curit\u00e9, et la s\u00e9curit\u00e9, comme l\u2019\u00e9crit Marx, est \u00abl\u2019assurance de son \u00e9go\u00efsme\u00bb. Et tel qu\u2019il s\u2019imagine, tel il est\u00a0<em>r\u00e9ellement,\u00a0<\/em>c\u2019est-\u00e0-dire un individu s\u00e9par\u00e9 de la communaut\u00e9, repli\u00e9 sur lui-m\u00eame, enti\u00e8rement pr\u00e9occup\u00e9 de ses int\u00e9r\u00eats personnels et agissant selon sa fantaisie priv\u00e9e ( \u2026 ) Le seul lien entre les hommes est la n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 naturelle, le besoin et l\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat priv\u00e9\u00a0\u00bb Michael Walzer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00bbIl suffit d\u2019\u00e9voquer l\u2019autoportrait de l\u2019individu constitu\u00e9 uniquement par son d\u00e9sir obstin\u00e9, libre de tout lien, sans valeur partag\u00e9e, sans engagement, coutumes ou traditions (sans yeux, sans dents, sans go\u00fbt, sans rien) pour le discr\u00e9diter: il y a d\u00e9j\u00e0 l\u00e0 absence concr\u00e8te de toute valeur. Quelle peut \u00eatre la vie r\u00e9elle d\u2019un tel individu? Imaginez-le essayant de maximiser ses utilit\u00e9s : pour la soci\u00e9t\u00e9, cela signifie la guerre de tous contre tous, la foire d\u2019empoigne qui nous est famili\u00e8re, o\u00f9, ainsi que l\u2019\u00e9crivait Hobbes, il n\u2019y a \u00abd\u2019autre but, d\u2019autres lauriers que d\u2019\u00eatre le premier \u00bb2<a href=\"http:\/\/www.philo-cvm.ca\/?page_id=561#_ftn3\">[3]<\/a>.

Ces droits se concr\u00e9tisent dans la s\u00e9paration, le divorce, le retrait, la solitude, la vie priv\u00e9e et l\u2019apathie politique. Enfin, le fait m\u00eame que la vie de l\u2019individu puisse \u00eatre d\u00e9crite en faisant appel \u00e0 ces deux langages philosophiques (le langage des biens de consommation et celui des droits) d\u00e9montre mieux encore, selon MacIntyre, l\u2019incoh\u00e9rence du lib\u00e9ralisme : dans une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 lib\u00e9rale, les hommes et les femmes n\u2019ont plus acc\u00e8s \u00e0 une culture morale unique qui leur permettrait d\u2019apprendre comment vivre (MacIntyre, 1981, chap. II et XVII). Il n\u2019y a ni consensus ni d\u00e9bat public sur la nature m\u00eame de la vie bonne, d\u2019o\u00f9 le triomphe du caprice personnel, mis en \u00e9vidence, par exemple, dans l\u2019existentialisme sartrien, qui est le reflet id\u00e9ologique du caract\u00e8re capricieux de la vie quotidienne.\u00a0\u00bb Michael Walzer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0\u00bbNous, lib\u00e9raux, sommes libres de choisir, et nous avons le droit de choisir ; mais aucun crit\u00e8re, si ce n\u2019est notre interpr\u00e9tation toute personnelle de nos propres d\u00e9sirs et int\u00e9r\u00eats, ne nous aide \u00e0 guider nos choix. Nos choix manquent de ce fait de coh\u00e9rence et de logique. Nous arrivons \u00e0 peine \u00e0 nous rappeler ce que nous avons fait la veille ; nous ne pouvons dire avec certitude ce que nous ferons demain. Nous ne pouvons pas correctement rendre compte de nous-m\u00eames. Nous ne pouvons nous asseoir ensemble pour raconter des histoires intelligibles, et nous ne nous reconnaissons dans les r\u00e9cits que nous lisons que lorsqu\u2019ils sont fragment\u00e9s et sans intrigue, des \u00e9quivalents litt\u00e9raires de la musique atonale ou de l\u2019art non figuratif.\u00a0\u00bb Michael Walzer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00bbPourquoi n\u2019accepterions- nous pas, \u00e0 la mani\u00e8re lib\u00e9rale habituelle, que la justice proc\u00e9durale prenne le pas sur toute conception substantielle du bien, puisque, \u00e9tant donn\u00e9 notre fragmentation, nous ne pouvons nous attendre \u00e0 nous mettre d\u2019accord sur ce qu\u2019est le bien? Michael Sandel s\u2019interroge: une communaut\u00e9 qui donne la priorit\u00e9 \u00e0 la justice peut-elle jamais \u00eatre plus qu\u2019une communaut\u00e9 d\u2019\u00e9trangers]? La question est int\u00e9ressante, mais la question inverse est plus directement pertinente: s\u2019il est vrai que nous sommes une communaut\u00e9 d\u2019\u00e9trangers, que pouvons-nous faire d\u2019autre que de donner la priorit\u00e9 \u00e0 la justice ?\u00a0\u00bb Michael Walzer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>.\u00a0\u00bb L\u2019id\u00e9ologie lib\u00e9rale du s\u00e9paratisme ne peut nous enlever notre qualit\u00e9 de personne ni nos liens ; ce dont elle nous prive, c\u2019est de la\u00a0<em>conscience\u00a0<\/em>que nous avons de notre personne et de nos liens. Cette d\u00e9possession se refl\u00e8te ensuite dans la politique lib\u00e9rale. Elle explique notre incapacit\u00e9 \u00e0 former des solidarit\u00e9s solides, des mouvements et des partis stables, qui rendraient nos convictions profondes tangibles et efficaces. Elle explique aussi notre totale d\u00e9pendance (que Hobbes annonce avec clairvoyance dans\u00a0<em>L\u00e9viathan)\u00a0<\/em>\u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9gard de l\u2019\u00c9tat central.\u00a0\u00bb Michael Walzer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0\u00bb plus la disparit\u00e9 est grande entre le pouvoir du dominant et celui du subordonn\u00e9, et plus ce pouvoir est exerc\u00e9 de mani\u00e8re arbitraire, plus le texte public jou\u00e9 par le subordonn\u00e9 aura un caract\u00e8re st\u00e9r\u00e9otyp\u00e9 et ritualis\u00e9.
