Description
Summary:This book starts from the observation that there is no reflection on liberalism without thought of freedom, but that all thought of freedom cannot be included in the various forms of liberalism. The two words which are at the start of this questioning refer to empirical or conceptual realities and to a priori different chronologies. Liberty refers to a thousand-year-old problematic, existing since men reflect on the possible forms of living together. Liberalism refers more to a body of doctrine that has its origin in an interpretation of the driving role of freedom for trade and the forms of organization of society. The challenge of this collection of studies, transdisciplinary by choice and by necessity, is to confront the two notions in their uses and their history. This book thus proposes a more detailed cartography of these concepts than those proposed by the analytical literature (whether it is Isaiah Berlin's dual categorization opposing positive freedom and negative freedom or the now fixed opposition between liberalism and republicanism). One of the results of the enterprise is thus to provide a principle for explaining the diversity of liberalisms, which contemporary literature too often attempts to describe, independently of the historical moments of their institutionalisation.
