• Resumen

  • Gila Stopler challenges us to reimagine the public–private distinction in a way which allows us both to confront the kinds of oppression to which feminists alerted us and to ward off absolutist attempts to gain control of the political. Her question is: How does one at the same time open up the personal and protect it? I argue that a clue to the answer lies in the way in which the issue should be seen not as the personal being political, but in the way the conception of the person we want to protect is political. Here I rely on an enemy of liberalism, Ernst Forsthoff.
