DEGREES OF FREEDOM: LIBERAL POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY AND IDEOLOGY
Book ID/图书代码： 13149014B76428
English Summary/英文概要： Liberalism has been the leading political theory of the past three hundred years and by far the most dominant ideology. Many think tanks are associated with liberal ideas, and most Western countries are considered liberal democracies. But does liberalism really cover the wide range of political ideas found in Western civilization? Degrees of Freedom examines liberalism’s universal claims, and explains how liberal thinkers formulated insights that apply to all aspects of politics. It also contrasts liberalism and conservatism.
Edwin van de Haar divides liberalism into three main variants: classical liberalism, social liberalism, and libertarianism. Without claiming that this is the only possible categorization of liberalism, he argues that this subdivision is the most comprehensible way out of liberal confusion. He explores how these forms of liberalism, found in popular parlance, relate to liberal political theory and ideology. In large part, mixing of liberal political ideology and liberal political theory leads to confusion rather than understanding. Domestic politics and international relations are presented as a whole, in the firm belief that one cannot meaningfully present an overview of any tradition in political theory by stopping at national borders.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在过去三百年中自由主义一直是政治理论的主导，并且是迄今为止最主要的思想。很多思想库都与自由主义理念有关，而大多数西方国家认为自由是民主。但自由主义真的包括西方文明中广泛的政治理念？《自由的深度》解释了自由主义的普遍要求，阐述了自由主义思想家如何制定出适用于所有政治方面的见解。同时也对比了自由主义和保守主义。
埃德温•范•德•哈尔将自由主义分为三类：古典自由主义，社会自由主义和自由主义。他并没有宣称这是自由主义唯一可能的分类，他认为这种细分是最易于理解自由主义的混乱的方式。他探讨了这些形式的自由主义如何在流行说法中被建立，如何与自由主义的政治理论和思想建立联系。在很大程度上，自由主义的政治思想与自由主义的政治理论的混合导致了混乱而不是理解。国内政治与国际关系作为一个整体被呈现，该坚定的信念认为不能通过中断国家边界来有效地提出任何有关政治理论传统的概述。(LNL)
