• W250367118 abstract "The Challenge of Liberty: Liberalism Robert Higgs and Carl P. Close, Editors The Independent Institute, 2006 Readers who are interested in philosophy of a free society - known as liberalism and sometimes equated with libertarianism - will find this compendium of twenty articles from The Independent Review valuable on two very different levels. For those who are already well versed in classical liberal canon, and especially in writings of Scottish Enlightenment (Adam Smith, Adam Ferguson, David Hume, Bernard Mandeville, and such latter-day figures as Carl Menger, F. A. Hayek and Ludwig von Mises), this will serve as a follow-up volume that shows what contemporary classical liberal scholars are making of their work. For those who are not well acquainted with those earlier writings, value of this collection will mostly lie in attracting attention of reader to writings of founders. This is so because that foundational knowledge is almost certainly needed for a full understanding of much that is discussed in these essays. The subtitle Classical Liberalism Today might be misleading. As a collection of articles on a variety of subjects, essays make no attempt to be a systematic examination of all schools of within contemporary classical liberalism. They represent particular point of view of Independent Institute and its refereed journal The Independent Review. Some of authors espouse anarchocapitalism (a market economy and no government) while others favor the minimal state. This libertarianism hardly equates with totality of classical even though at least one of authors does treat them as synonymous. Even within more restricted sphere of libertarianism, articles here are highly critical of rationalistic, theories, which make up a good deal of libertarian thought. The compendium is heavily weighted toward those who prefer evolutionist and spontaneous order rationale expounded by Scottish thinkers and their heirs, especially Hayek in his later writings.An interesting thing about articles is extent to which they illustrate how much all social philosophies have become subjects of elaborate academic explication during past century. One now finds references to such things as one-dimensional continuous variables, transaction costs, forming template, and games of human interaction. Over time, it will be interesting to see how much, if at all, these artifacts of modern social science impact on philosophy's substance. If they do, it will probably be by way of detracting, since it isn't apparent to this reviewer that they have added anything appreciable to content of founders' thinking. In fact, these outer trappings of contemporary erudition seem to run parallel to an unsavory syndrome that is itself characteristic of much of social science of past century: tendency of many working in academic vineyards to contribute nothing original of their own, to hew closely to ideas set down by authorities they cite, to adhere unthinkingly to established conventionalities, and to wear ideologically-induced blinders that create a certain tunnel vision. The Independent Review is a refereed journal, which means there is a systematic use of gate-keepers. Gate-keepers are unavoidable in all but self-publication, but unless great care is taken they have a propensity to squelch original thinking, turning results into something akin to thought by committee. Of course, modern academic social science totally embraces refereeing. There is much that is provocative in The Challenge of Liberty that deserves detailed attention. Although we can hardly attempt such attention in a brief review, here are some aspects, among many, that catch eye: 1. Even though a theme that runs through book, as we have seen, is to prefer evolutionist theory over rationalistic, rights-based liberalism, which authors see as ahistorical, authors seem to have stayed tightly within confines of theoretical models, hardly looking at actual living world at all. …" @default.
