摘要

摘要：这是对布赖恩-加尔斯滕（Bryan Garsten）关于作为避难所的自由主义一文的回应，探讨了自由主义面临的来自内部的风险。其中最大的风险是自由主义失去了促进人类行为节制的能力。自由主义是一种避难文化，而不是复活或解放文化；它具有现实和悲观的色彩，接受人类的本来面目，不想让他们自我毁灭或毁灭他人。然而，如果自由主义是一座只为外部敌人（政治或国家权力）而装备的堡垒，那么它在应对自身内部对自由的威胁时势必会软弱无力，毫无准备，从而可能成为一座监狱。自由主义的目标应该是自我限制。

Liberalism as Fortress and Prison

Abstract: This response to Bryan Garsten's essay on liberalism as refuge examines the risks that liberalism faces from within. The greatest of these risks is that liberalism loses its ability to promote moderation in human behavior. Liberalism is a culture of refuge, not of resurrection or liberation; it has a realistic and pessimistic vein that accepts human beings as they are and wants not to make them self-destructive or destructive of others. Yet if liberalism is a fortress equipped only for an external enemy (political or state power), it is bound to be weak and unprepared against its own internal threat to freedom; it may thereby become a prison. The goal of liberalism should be self-limitation.
