Liberalism
Malmö högskola, Faculty of Culture and Society (KS), Department of Global Political Studies (GPS).

Abstract [sv]

Vi är alla goda liberaler numera och tror på medborgerliga friheter och individens självbestämmande. Men hur ser liberalismen som distinkt politiskt alternativ egentligen ut? Att vara liberal är något mer specifikt än att gilla yttrandefrihet och tolerans. Liberalismen behandlas här som en politisk filosofi - en teori om det rättvisa samhället. Olika liberala riktningar diskuteras utifrån de grundläggande värden som förenar dem: en viss syn på individen, fokus på individuella rättigheter och ett specifikt svar på frågan om vari individens frihet består. Utifrån denna liberala värdegrund granskas och kritiseras liberala tolkningar av vad det innebär att tro på frihet, jämlikhet, legitimitet och rättvisa.

Abstract [en]

We are all good liberals now and believe in civil rights and individual freedoms. Given that, what does liberalism as a distinct political alternative look like? Being a liberal must mean something more specific than a vague preferences for toleration and freedom of speech. In this book liberalism is analysed a theory of justice – a political philosophy of fair institutions. Different liberalisms are discussed against the background of what units them, which the author claims to be: a particular view of the human person, a focus on individual rights and a specific answer to the question of what individual freedom consists.
