Summary

This quote criticizes liberalism for prioritizing philosophical ideas over political principles in practical affairs. The objection lies in the belief that liberalism places a strong emphasis on ideals and theories, often neglecting the pragmatic aspects of politics.

In essence, it argues that liberalism's preoccupation with philosophical ideas hampers its ability to address and solve real-world problems through practical political means.
