当代西方自由主义弱政府理论探析

新自由主义与保守自由主义是传统自由主义的两个当代变体。保守自由主义认为,在自发秩序的引导下,市场经济可以自足自治;国家行为存在内在悖论,政府也会失灵;政府干预作用有限,弱政府才是最佳选择。保守自由主义反对新自由主义的强政府理论,并借助经验认识论、消极自由观和主流民主观详细论述消极国家观的合理和必要。新自由主义、社群主义和新左派对保守自由主义的弱政府理论提出了猛烈批评。 

Analysis of the Weak Government Theory of Modern Western Liberalism

NewLiberalism and Neo-liberalism are two anamorphosises of traditional liberalism. Neo-liberalism argues that market economy can be self-government by the rule of spontaneity order;there is intern antinomy in state action, government may be malfunction sometimes, thus the functions of governmental intervenes should be limited, and weak government is always the best choice. Neo-liberalism opposes strong government theory of new liberalism, and demonstrates particularly for the reason of the need of negative state conception through the experience epistemology, negative liberty conception and mainstream democracy conception. NewLiberalism, Communitarian and NewLeft criticize fierily the weak government theory of Neo-liberalism.
