1945 is given too much importance as a turning point in the history of political thinking. Most of the changes which occurred at and after the end of the Second World War were intensifications of existing conceptions and aspirations, rather than new departures. By the 1990s, in contrast, a new intellectual century, however uncertain its features, had begun. Socialism and conservatism were dead, and in their place was a division between left and right, with elements of liberalism on each side of the divide. At the same time society has been replaced by societies, and both gender and religion have emerged as major themes. And yet, paradoxically, much of what was new drew on the recessive themes of the past.
