商品描述
An exploration of the theories, histories, practices, and contradictions of liberalism today.
What does it mean to be a liberal in neoliberal times? This collection of short essays attempts to show how liberals and the wider concept of liberalism remain relevant in what many perceive to be a highly illiberal age. Liberalism in the broader sense revolves around tolerance, progress, humanitarianism, objectivity, reason, democracy, and human rights. Liberalism's emphasis on individual rights opened a theoretical pathway to neoliberalism, through private property, a classically minimal liberal state, and the efficiency of "free markets." In practice, neoliberalism is associated less with the economic deregulation championed by its advocates than the re-regulation of the economy to protect financial capital. Liberalism in Neoliberal Times engages with the theories, histories, practices, and contradictions of liberalism, viewing it in relation to four central areas of public life: human rights, ethnicity and gender, education, and the media. The contributors explore the transformations in as well as the transformative aspects of liberalism and highlight both its liberating and limiting capacities.
The book contends that liberalism--in all its forms--continues to underpin specific institutions such as the university, the free press, the courts, and, of course, parliamentary democracy. Liberal ideas are regularly mobilized in areas such as counterterrorism, minority rights, privacy, and the pursuit of knowledge. This book contends that while we may not agree on much, we can certainly agree that an understanding of liberalism and its emancipatory capacity is simply too important to be left to the liberals

商品描述(中文翻譯)
當今自由主義的理論、歷史、實踐與矛盾的探索。
在新自由主義時代,成為一名自由主義者意味著什麼?這本短文集試圖展示自由主義者及更廣泛的自由主義概念如何在許多人認為的高度非自由時代中保持相關性。自由主義的廣義概念圍繞著寬容、進步、人道主義、客觀性、理性、民主和人權。自由主義對個人權利的強調為新自由主義開辟了一條理論途徑,通過私有財產、經典的最小自由主義國家以及“自由市場”的效率。在實踐中,新自由主義與其倡導者所主張的經濟放鬆管制關聯較少,而更多地與為了保護金融資本而重新規範經濟相關。《新自由主義時代的自由主義》探討了自由主義的理論、歷史、實踐與矛盾,並將其與公共生活的四個核心領域相關聯:人權、族裔與性別、教育和媒體。貢獻者們探索了自由主義的變革及其變革性特徵,並突顯了其解放與限制的能力。
本書主張,自由主義——以其所有形式——仍然支撐著特定的機構,如大學、自由新聞、法院,當然還有議會民主。自由主義思想經常在反恐、少數群體權利、隱私和追求知識等領域被動員。本書認為,儘管我們可能在許多問題上意見不合,但我們可以肯定地同意,理解自由主義及其解放能力的重要性不應僅僅留給自由主義者。
