Eric MacGilvray

Eric MacGilvray works in political theory, focusing on the concept of freedom—particularly liberal and republican traditions—and how it relates to political polarization, market economics, and the administrative state. His work also touches on pragmatism and how literature (such as Melville's writing) can illuminate political ideas. Much of his recent output centers on a single book, 'Liberal Freedom: Pluralism, Polarization, and Politics,' with related chapters, reviews, and responses.

Publication output was low and sporadic through the late 2010s, spiked sharply in 2022 (likely tied to a single book's chapters), and has since returned to a modest, steady pace of a few items per year.
