This thesis explores one of the distinct strands of liberalism which emerges in the 20thcentury, developed by political theorist Judith Shklar. In particular, it focuses on her use and integration of literature, and demonstrates the central role which literary works serve in her presentation of a character-based account of liberalism which is committed to realism, toleration, and injustice. The thesis is divided into three sections. The first provides historical context for Shklar and addresses the apparent tension which arises for a character-based account given Shklar's commitment to pluralism. The second sketches out the various uses of literary works throughout Shklar's corpus with an emphasis on intellectual history, utopian literature, and the normative use of literary works. The third examines the relationship between, and compatibility of, a liberalism which is focused on character and the liberalism of fear. Scholarship on Shklar, which has often emphasized the institutionally focused liberalism of fear, has lost sight of the important (and individualized) normative liberal commitments which I argue Shklar presents and attempts to persuade her readers towards through her use of literary works. Literature is able to both serve a persuasive function and uniquely capture her readers' attention, given the fictionality of its form and the affective nature of the works.

520 $a Cette these explore un courant distinct du liberalisme qui emerge au 20esiecle, developpe par la theoricienne politique Judith Shklar. Elle se concentre particulierement sur son utilisation et son integration de la litterature, et montre le role central que jouent les oeuvres litteraires dans sa presentation d'un liberalisme base sur le caractere, qui se montre realiste, tolerant et injuste. Cette these se divise en trois sections. La premiere presente le contexte historique de Shklar et repond a la tension apparente entre une presentation basee sur le caractere et l'engagement de Shklar envers le pluralisme. La seconde presente les differents usages d'oeuvres litteraires dans les travaux de Shklar en mettant l'accent sur l'histoire intellectuelle, la litterature utopique et l'usage normatif d'oeuvres litteraires. La troisieme examine la relation et la compatibilite entre un liberalisme fonde sur le caractere et un liberalisme fonde sur la peur. Les travaux sur Shklar, qui ont souvent mis l'accent sur le liberalisme de la peur axe sur les institutions, ont perdu de vue les importants (et souvent individualises) engagements liberaux normatifs que Shklar presente et desquels elle tente de persuader ses lecteurs a travers son usage d'oeuvres litteraires, tel que je le soutiens. La litterature est en mesure de servir a la fois une fonction persuasive et d'aller chercher l'attention des lecteurs de facon unique, grace au caractere fictif de sa forme et a la nature affective des oeuvres.
