Abstract
This chapter develops the western philosophical infrastructure of liberalism in European Enlightenment and Victorian legacies of progress and under-determination, which I trace back to philosophical anthropology’s position on technicity and plasticity as constitutive of “being human.” In studies of Dostoevsky’s Brothers Karamazov (1876) and D. H. Lawrence’s late political novels set in Australia and Mexico respectively, Kangaroo (1923) and The Plumed Serpent (1926), I focus on the dialogic, polyphonic styles described by Bakhtin that are central to the liberal literary tradition.
