Conservatives, liberals, and "the negative".
Abstract
The authors connect conservatism with aversion to negativity via the tendentious use
of the language of threats to characterize conservatism, but not liberalism. Their
reliance upon an objective conception of the negative ignores the fact that much of
the disagreement between liberals and conservatives is over whether or not one and
the same state of affairs is negative or positive.
