fault liberalism for being mistakenly and irreparably individualistic

 Many now argue that liberalism can be faulted for being mistakenly and irreparably individualistic

Indeed, a number of critics charge that liberalism is necessarily premised on an abstract conception of individual selves as pure choosers, whose commitments, values and concerns are possessions of the self, 

Although the ‘liberal-communitarian’ debate ultimately involved wide-ranging moral, political and sociological disputes about the nature of communities, and the rights and responsibilities of their members, the heart of the debate was about the nature of liberal selves
