Liberal: spoken in a certain tone, heard more and more often lately, it summons up permissiveness, materialism, rootlessness, skepticism, relativism run rampant. How has liberalism, the grand democratic ideal, come to be a dirty word? This hook shows us what antiliberalism means in the modern world--where it comes from, whom it serves, and why it speaks with such a forceful, if everchanging, voice.
In the past, in a battle pitting one offspring of eighteenth-century rationalism against another, Marxism has been liberalism's best known and most vociferous opponent. But with the fall of communism, the voices of ethnic particularism, communitarianism, and religious fundamentalism--a tradition Holmes traces to Joseph de Maistre--have become louder in rejection of the Enlightenment, failing to distinguish between the descendants of Karl Marx and Adam Smith. Stephen Holmes uses the tools of the political theorist and the intellectual historian to expose the philosophical underpinnings of antiliberalism in its nonmarxist guise. Examining the works of some of liberalism's severest critics--including Maistre, Carl Schmitt, Leo Strauss, and Alasdair Maclntyre--Holmes provides, in effect, a reader's guide to antiliberal culture, in all its colorful and often seductive, however nefarious, variety. As much a mindset as a theory, as much a sensibility as an argument, antiliberalism appears here in its diverse efforts to pit "spiritual truths" and "communal bonds" against a perceived cultural decay and moral disintegration. This corrosion of the social fabric--rather than the separation of powers, competitive elections, a free press, religious tolerance, public budgets, and judicial controls on the police--is what the antiliberal forces see as the core of liberal politics. Against this picture, Holmes outlines the classical liberal arguments most often misrepresented by the enemies of liberalism and most essential to the future of democracy.
Constructive as well as critical, this book helps us see what liberalism is and must be, and why it must and always will engender deep misgivings along with passionate commitment.

斯蒂芬·霍爾姆斯《反自由主義剖析》。我覺得此書第一部分對梅斯特爾、施密特、施特勞斯等人的批評最有價值,第二部分則比較平淡,而且作者並未能指齣自由主義之所以招緻眾多批判的主要原因。個人認為,批評自由主義雖然立場不同,觀念各異,但其齣發點或說動力都是類似的。無...
評分作者斯蒂芬·霍爾姆斯為雖為左派(他還與身為奧巴馬競選團隊顧問的凱斯·桑斯坦閤著過一書http://book.douban.com/subject/6831074/),但在本書中他的立場基本是自由主義的。 作者對自由主義反對者及其傳統進行的抨擊犀利且火藥味十足,而且作者相當注重用自由主義的光榮脈絡...
