自由主義是西方當代社會與政治的重要理念，其興起背景、形成論述與演進的過程、影響，及之後所引發的各種挑戰與批判，到自由主義後繼者所作的補充與回應，構成了政治哲學一場場精彩的論辯，是切入政治哲學一條重要的思想線索。本課程企圖對自由主義進行最精要的介紹與討論，尤其是其背景與問題意識的釐清，希望藉由這些精要的討論能理解西歐與美國為主的西方政治社會關於政治自由、經濟自由的核心價值為何。另外，在自由主義思想發展的過程中，包括社會主義、保守主義、社群主義等的批判亦點出了自由主義的問題；藉由暸解這些問題，也能讓我們暸解西方繼自由主義興起以降在政治、社會與經濟所面臨的諸多挑戰與問題，如何因這些論辯的開展而引出不同的政治路線與實際的變動。
我們希望透過這門課的討論，能讓同學對自由主義的演變與不同分支所關注的問題有基本的認識，從而認識隨西方政治模式而形塑而成的當代民主社會所面臨的問題及可能的因應之道。
Liberalism is an important concept in contemporary Western society and politics. The background of its rise, the process of its formation and evolution, its influence, and the various challenges and criticisms it has subsequently triggered, as well as the supplements and responses made by liberal successors, constitute political philosophy. The wonderful debates are an important ideological clue to political philosophy. This course attempts to provide the most essential introduction and discussion of liberalism, especially the clarification of its background and awareness of issues. It is hoped that through these essential discussions, we can understand the political freedom and economic freedom of Western political societies dominated by Western Europe and the United States. What are the core values of . In addition, in the process of the development of liberal thought, criticisms including socialism, conservatism, communitarianism, etc. also pointed out the problems of liberalism. By understanding these problems, we can also understand the decline of liberalism in the West since the rise of liberalism. How the many challenges and problems faced in politics, society and economy have led to different political lines and practical changes as a result of these debates.
