Abstract
I turn now to an account of greed, the importance of which for the attack on liberalism I have indicated at various points in my discussion of reason in politics. As I suggest in chapter 2, the matter of the attachment of aggression to desire cannot be separated from an account of the role of reason in politics. If this is the case, then it is also the case that greed and the flight from reason are not separate matters, but two aspects of one phenomenon.
