FUTURE OF LIBERALISM, THE(ISBN=9780307386250) 英文原版 txt umd azw3 下载 fb2 pdf 在线 免费

A compelling and deeply felt exploration and defense of

liberalism: what it actually is, why it is relevant today, and how

it can help our society chart a forward course.

The Future of Liberalism represents the culmination of four

decades of thinking and writing about contemporary politics by Alan

Wolfe, one of America’s leading scholars, hailed by one critic as

“one of liberalism’s last and most loyal sons.” Wolfe mines the

bedrock of the liberal tradition, explaining how Immanuel Kant,

John Stuart Mill, John Dewey, and other celebrated minds helped

shape liberalism’s central philosophy. Wolfe also examines those

who have challenged liberalism since its inception, from

Jean-Jacques Rousseau to modern conservatives, religious

fundamentalists, and evolutionary theorists such as Richard

Dawkins.

Drawing on both the inspiration and insights of seminal works

such as John Locke’s Second Treatise on Government, Adam Smith’s

Theory of Moral Sentiments, Kant’s essay “What is Enlightenment?,”

and Mill’s On Liberty and The Subjection of Women, Wolfe

ambitiously sets out to define what it truly means to be a liberal.

He analyzes and applauds liberalism’s capacious conception of human

nature, belief that people outweigh ideology, passion for social

justice, faith in reason and intellectual openness, and respect for

individualism. And we see how the liberal tradition can influence

and illuminate contemporary debates on immigration, abortion,

executive power, religious freedom, and free speech.

But Wolfe also makes it clear that before liberalism can be

successfully applied to today’s problems, it needs to be recovered,

understood, and embraced—not just by Americans but by all modern

people—as the most beneficial way to live in our complex modern

world. The Future of Liberalism is a crucial, enlightening, and

immensely rewarding step in that direction.
