 One area in which today one sees a resonance or legacy is in political and social thought; Bosanquet’s arguments have been seen as at least close—or even a preferred alternative—to the work of some contemporary communitarians. Bosanquet’s emphasis on the importance of a common good, on the social character of the individual, and on the fundamental place of substantive social ends within a community, are echoed in the more recent writings of Charles Taylor (1992) and Alasdair MacIntyre (1990). Other authors (such as Gerald Gaus [1983, 1994, 2001]) see in Bosanquet’s work a model of a substantive liberalism.
