Abstract

Libertarian principles seem basic enough: keep government out of boardrooms, bedrooms, and wallets, and let markets work the way they should. But what reasoning justifies those stances, and how can they be elucidated clearly and applied consistently? In Libertarianism, from A to Z, acclaimed Harvard economist Jeffrey Miron sets the record straight with a dictionary that takes the reader beyond the mere surface of libertarian thought to reveal the philosophy's underlying and compelling logic. Tackling subjects as diverse as prostitution and drugs, the financial crises and the government bailouts, the legality of abortion, and the War on Terror, Miron takes the reader on a tour of libertarian thought. He draws on consequentialist principles that balance the costs and benefits of any given government intervention, emphasizing personal liberty and free markets. Miron never flinches from following those principles to their logical and sometimes controversial ends. Along the way, readers get a charming and engaging lesson in how to think like a libertarian.

Abstract

In this book, Duncan Kelly excavates, from the history of modern political thought, a largely forgotten claim about liberty as a form of propriety. By rethinking the intellectual and historical foundations of modern accounts of freedom, he brings into focus how this major vision of liberty developed between the seventeenth and the nineteenth centuries. In his framework, celebrated political writers, including John Locke, Montesquieu, Adam Smith, John Stuart Mill, and Thomas Hill Green pursue the claim that freedom is best understood as a form of responsible agency or propriety, and they do so by reconciling key moral and philosophical claims with classical and contemporary political theory. Their approach broadly assumes that only those persons who appropriately regulate their conduct can be thought of as free and responsible. At the same time, however, they recognize that such internal forms of self-propriety must be judged within the wider context of social and political life. Kelly shows how the intellectual and practical demands of such a synthesis require these great writers to consider freedom as part of a broader set of arguments about the nature of personhood, the potentially irrational impact of the passions, and the obstinate problems of individual and political judgement. By exploring these relationships, The Propriety of Liberty not only revises the intellectual history of modern political thought, but also sheds light on contemporary debates about freedom and agency.

Abstract

Pourquoi le « malaise civilisationnel » reconnu par tous aujourd’hui, et exaspéré par la crise, ne se sait pas effet de classe ?Michel Clouscard introduit ici aux enjeux philosophiques ultimes de la lutte des classes. Il dénonce l’idéologie de la classe dominante qui est négation de l’éthique immanente au procès de production et refus du principe de réalité : le travailleur qui produit l’encadrement spatio-temporel de la cité que la bourgeoisie ne fait que consommer. Par cette critique radicale de l’idéologie libérale libertaire, Michel Clouscard entend jeter les bases théoriques d’un nouveau progressisme.Comment a-t-on pu en arriver à la situation actuelle ? Pourquoi le « malaise civilisationnel » reconnu par tous aujourd’hui, et exaspéré par la crise, ne se sait pas effet de classe ?Michel Clouscard introduit ici aux enjeux philosophiques ultimes de la lutte des classes. Il dénonce l’idéologie de la classe dominante qui est négation de l’éthique immanente au procès de production et refus du principe de réalité : le travailleur qui produit l’encadrement spatio-temporel de la cité que la bourgeoisie ne fait que consommer. Comme cela doit rester un non-dit et un non-su, l’idéologie suturera cette fissure par la constante promotion d’une pseudo-contradiction interne : la réduction de la réalité au père bourgeois supposé entraver la consommation libertaire du fils. Cette pseudo-contradiction finira par recouvrir toute l’intersubjectivité capitaliste, tout le champ de conscience et la sensibilité.Par cette critique radicale de l’idéologie libérale libertaire, Michel Clouscard entend jeter les bases théoriques d’un nouveau progressisme.

Abstract

There is a growing individualization of China with changing perceptions of the individual and rising expectations for individual freedom, choice and individuality. How this process evolves in a country lacking two of the defining characteristics of European individualization is a question this volume explores.
