| Sumario: | A response to four commentaries that appear in this issue on the writer's The End of the Republican Era. The writer argues that he has learnt a great deal from the four commentaries and presents a response by focusing on common themes and repeated points, including the definition of liberalism, the danger the Republican coalition poses for the republican era, public administration, whether liberals had a “cultural agenda,” the flaw that contributed to the liberal tragedy, the criticism that the writer does not confront the “vast impact of liberalism taken to its cultural extreme,” and the tendency of commentators to tie morality to religion.
