The historical controversies and misunderstandings arising between the liberals and their numerous and socially important adversaries persuaded the author of the book to survey the traditions and contemporary ideological frame of liberalism. One of the key motives behind this endeavour has been the attempt to demonstrate that there is no single liberalism, and in fact never has been. There have been, however, multiple different liberalisms, and so it remains important to contextualise them in the social and cultural contexts of particular continents as well as specific countries.
