Beschreibung:
Jean-Claude Michéa is Professor of Philosophy at Lycée Joffre in Montpellier.
Winston Churchill said of democracy that it was 'the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.' The same could be said of liberalism. While liberalism displays an unfailing optimism with regard to the capacity of human beings to make themselves 'masters and possessors of nature', it displays a profound pessimism when it comes to appreciating their moral capacity to build a decent world for themselves.
Note. Chapter One: The Unity of Liberalism. Chapter Two: Questions of Method. Chapter Three: The 'Open Society' and the Politics of Necessity. Chapter Four: Tractatus Juridico-Economicus. Chapter Five: Egoism and Common Decency. Chapter Six: The Unconscious of Modern Societies. Chapter Seven: From the Realm of Lesser Evil to the Best of Worlds.
