Regarding the issue of freedom, Chinese traditional thought differs from the West, but with the opening of the country, the theories and concepts of freedom have also found a certain market in the 20th century. On one hand, Western liberal thought has been introduced to some extent, and a Chinese-style liberal thought movement has emerged; on the other hand, the Chinese people have a strong desire to pursue "liberation." The term "liberation," in its original sense, means "freedom." In recent years, academic and intellectual circles have once again seen a resurgence of liberal thought. Against the backdrop of China's unique history, this is undoubtedly meaningful.
In the author's view, while it is necessary for modern Chinese people to understand liberal thought, what is even more important is the recognition of its adversaries. This book is a study of Western liberal thought, outlining the development of liberalism in Western countries from three perspectives: the emergence and early forms of liberalism, the light of liberalism in dark times, liberalism under the protection of monarchy, and the intellectual traditions of modern classical liberalism.
