Liberal individualism, or 'classical liberalism' as it is often
called, refers to a political philosophy in which liberty plays the
central role. This book demonstrates a conceptual unity within the
manifestations of classical liberalism by tracing the history of
several interrelated and reinforcing themes. Concepts such as
order, justice, rights and freedom have imparted unity to this
diverse political ideology by integrating context and meaning.
However, they have also sparked conflict, as classical liberals
split on a number of issues, such as legitimate exceptions to the
'presumption of liberty', the meaning of 'the public good', natural
rights versus utilitarianism, the role of the state in education,
and the rights of resistance and revolution. This book explores
these conflicts and their implications for contemporary liberal and
libertarian thought.
