文档介绍：CLASSICAL INDIVIDUALISM
Machan’s book is one of the most thorough accounts of political and
moral individualism available…. However classical its origins,
classical individualism provides us with a new alternative perspective
through which to make sense of peting claims, interests and
programs found in our world.

In Classical Individualism, Tibor argues that individualism is far from dead.
Machan identifies, develops and defends what he calls classical individualism—an
individualism humanized by classical philosophy, rooted in Aristotle rather than in
Hobbes.
Classical Individualism does not reject the social nature of human beings, but finds
that everyone is a self-directed agent who is responsible for what he or she does. Machan
rejects all types of collectivism, munitarianism, ethnic solidarity, racial
unity and gender identity. The ideas expressed in Classical Individualism have important
social and political implications, and will be of interest to anyone concerned with the
notion of individuality and individual responsibility.
Anyone with an interest in social and political affairs, social ethics, political
philosophy, economics, rights theory, the nature of the human being, libertarianism,
capitalism, or environmentalism will want to read this book.
Tibor is Professor at Auburn University, Alabama, but is currently
Professor and Distinguished Fellow at the School of Business and Economics, Chapman
University, California. He is also a research fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford
University. His most recent books include Generosity: Virtue in Civil Society, Private
Rights and Public Illusions and Liberty and Culture: Essays on the Idea of a Free
Society.
