This book provides readers with a thorough treatment of liberal doctrine, both in its political theory and economic policy dimensions.
Liberalism is typically misconceived as a philosophy of individualism, which cannot accept that man exists in society and that man''s values are shaped by that society.
This book attempts to identify the role of community and society in the political and social thought of leading liberal social philosophers of the 19th and 20th centuries including John Stuart Mill, Herbert Spencer and Friedrich A. von Hayek. While differing as to the nature of man and society, each thinker examined holds the basic premise that man is not an isolated creature whose life is ''nasty, brutish and short'' but rather that his motivations are dependent upon his place in a social order.
