罗杰・斯克拉顿
是当代的一位最具代表性、也是最具争议的保守主义理论家。1975年,斯克拉顿加入保守主义哲学小组,1976年又成为索尔兹伯里小组(Salisbury Group)的重要成员。1982年,斯克拉顿开始主编《索尔兹伯里评论》(Salisbury Review),该刊很快就成为英国乃至西欧最有影响的保守主义刊物。斯克拉顿全面阐述了保守主义的基本原则,强调传统的作用,主张加强法治,维护社会秩序,强化国家的权威。
This is a major contribution to political thought from conservatism's greatest contemporary proponent. Originally published in Britain in 1980 and revised in 1984, this edition - the first ever in the United States - is a major rewriting of the work. Scruton's idea of conservatism - what in America we tend to call "paleo-conservatism" - might well shock the sensibilities of those American "conservatives" who view it as little more than the workings of the free market. Conservatism, says Scruton, is neither automatic hostility toward the state nor the desire to limit the state's obligations toward the citizen. Rather, conservatism regards the individual not as the premise but the conclusion of politics, a politics that is fundamentally opposed to the ethic of social justice, to equality of station, income, and achievement, or to the attempt to bring major institutions of society (such as schools and universities) under government control.
The conservative outlook, says Scruton, is neither outmoded nor irrational. On the contrary, it is the most reasonable of political alternatives. The evils of socialism, he maintains, lie precisely where its supporters find its strengths, and the conditions for the credibility of socialism have long since disappeared. Neither socialism nor liberalism can come to terms with the real complexity of human society, and both appear plausible only because they direct attention away from what is actual, toward what is merely ideal.
保守主义批判霍布斯、卢梭自然状态的个人主义精彩说理,保守主义的这种思想实际上是整体论思想在政治哲学中的运用。即把整体(社会有机体)摆到第一位。从逻辑上来看,“整体在先”包含两层意思:第一,在定义上部分往往要借助于整体来进行说明。比如“弧是圆的部分”、“手是...
评分第一条原则构成了自由主义思想的前提:刑法唯一应当关注的是保护公民免受伤害。第二条原则是方法论上的,即一切法律和道德问题都有讨论的余地,验证的责任与其说落在废除某种箴规的人身上,不如说是由保留了它的人来承担。自由主义者对每一种制度都要问一个“为什么”,却永远...

评分首先,我并没有感觉斯克拉顿将保守主义的含义讲清楚了。但有说明其来源,当下以及面对的挑战。 关于权力建构的话语权,我觉得一开始就掌握在手拥资本的那一群人中,知识分子不过为他们做了嫁衣,何况知识分子已经不复存在。再者,关于书中“国家的本质在于权利,权威则是它的形...
