Abstract
abstract:Isabel Paterson is the founding godmother of the libertarian movement, known best for her book The God of the Machine, which Ayn Rand credited for having done "for capitalism what the Bible did for Christianity." Often overlooked is her twenty-five-year career as a literary columnist for the New York Herald Tribune. Culture and Liberty: Writings of Isabel Paterson, edited by Stephen Cox, presents a selection of those columns along with private letters and other essays. They are a treasure. Paterson's critical performances show us a systematic yet unpredictable mind at work—a model not only of the first but also of any future libertarian worthy of the name.
伊莎贝尔·帕特森是自由意志主义运动的奠基人,她最著名的著作是《机器之神》,安·兰德称赞她的著作“对资本主义的贡献就像圣经对基督教的贡献一样”。她在《纽约先驱论坛报》(New York Herald Tribune)担任文学专栏作家长达25年的职业生涯常常被忽视。斯蒂芬·考克斯编辑的《文化与自由:伊莎贝尔·帕特森的作品》精选了这些专栏以及私人信件和其他文章。它们是珍宝。帕特森的批判性表现向我们展示了一种系统而不可预测的思维方式——不仅是第一个自由意志主义者的模式,也是未来任何一个名副其实的自由意志主义者的模式。
