Abstract

In all of its varieties, traditional liberalism is a universalist political theory. Its content is a set of principles which prescribe the best regime, the ideally best institutions, for all mankind. It may be acknowledged — as it is, by a proto-liberal such as Spinoza — that the best regime can be attained only rarely, and cannot be expected to endure for long; and that the forms its central institutions will assume in different historical and cultural milieux may vary significantly. It will then be accepted that the liberal regime's role in political thought is as a regulative ideal, which political practice can hope only to approximate, subject to all the vagaries and exigencies of circumstance. Nonetheless, the content of traditional liberalism is a system of principles which function as universal norms for the critical appraisal of human institutions. In this regard, traditional liberalism — the liberalism of Locke and Kant, for example — represents a continuation of classical political rationalism, as it is found in Aristotle and Aquinas, where it also issues in principles having the attribute of universality, in that they apply ideally to all human beings.

论争的自由主义
传统自由主义是一种普遍主义的政治理论。它的内容是一套原则,这些原则规定了全人类最好的制度,最理想的制度。像斯宾诺莎这样的原始自由主义者也许会承认,最好的制度很少能实现,也不能指望它长久存在;在不同的历史和文化环境中,其中心机构的形式可能会有很大的不同。人们将会接受,自由主义制度在政治思想中的作用是作为一种规范的理想,政治实践只能希望接近这种理想,受制于环境的所有变幻莫测和紧急情况。尽管如此,传统自由主义的内容是一个原则体系,作为对人类制度进行批判性评价的普遍规范。在这方面,传统自由主义——例如洛克和康德的自由主义——代表了古典政治理性主义的延续,正如在亚里士多德和阿奎那所发现的那样,它也提出了具有普遍性属性的原则,因为它们理想地适用于所有人类。

期刊介绍: Social Philosophy and Policy is an interdisciplinary journal with an emphasis on the philosophical underpinnings of enduring social policy debates. The issues are thematic in format, examining a specific area of concern with contributions from scholars in different disciplines, especially philosophy, economics, political science and law. While not primarily a journal of policy prescriptions, some articles in each issue will typically connect theory with practice. The 2006 issues are "Justice and Global Politics" and "Taxation, Economic Prosperity, and Distributive Justice". The 2007 issues will be "Liberalism: Old and New" and "Ancient Greek Political Theory".
