Rosenblatt resucita el viejo significado de «liberalismo» y los valores tradicionalmente asociados a él. Desde la antigua Roma hasta hoy, Helena Rosenblatt traza la evolución de las palabras «liberal» y «liberalismo», sin olvidar los debates que han tenido lugar sobre este credo político que se ha convertido en un grito de guerra—y de burla—en el cada vez más dividido pensamiento actual. En Estados Unidos, un «liberal» es alguien que defiende un gran gobierno, mientras que en Francia, la idea de gran gobierno es contraria a la de «liberalismo». Los debates políticos se vuelven enrevesados debido a la confusión conceptual que lo rodea, pero Rosenblatt desmiente el mito popular del mal entendido liberalismo.

Its stated aim was to destroy internal enemies and conspirators and to chase the external enemies from French territory.The Terror as such started on September 5, 1793 and, as the Reign of Terror, lasted until the summer of 1794, taking the lives of anywhere between 18,000 to 40,000 people (estimates vary widely). Thousands would die by means of the guillotine, including many of the greatest lights of the revolution, like Georges Danton.. The deaths can be explained in part by the sense of emergency that gripped the revolutionary leadership as the country teetered on the brink of civil war. Source Who was John Stuart Mill? (pg. 3 of the transcript or 00:12:19)John Stuart Mill, an English philosopher, economist, and exponent of utilitarianism. He was prominent as a publicist in the reforming age of the 19th century, and remains of lasting interest as a logician and an ethical theorist.The influence that his works exercised upon contemporary English thought can scarcely be overestimated, nor can there be any doubt about the value of the liberal and inquiring spirit with which he handled the great questions of his time. Beyond that, however, there has been considerable difference of opinion about the enduring merits of his philosophy. Source Who was Alexis de Tocqueville? (pg. 3 of the transcript or 00:12:27)Alexis de Tocqueville, French sociologist, political scientist, historian, and politician, best known for Democracy in America (1835–40). Tocqueville traveled to the United States in 1831 to study its prisons and returned with a wealth of broader observations that he codified in “Democracy in America”, one of the most influential books of the 19th century. With its trenchant observations on equality and individualism, Tocqueville's work remains a valuable explanation of America to Europeans and of Americans to themselves. Tocqueville's works shaped 19th-century discussions of liberalism and equality, and were rediscovered in the 20th century as sociologists debated the causes and cures of tyranny. Source What does cancel culture mean? (pg. 6 of the transcript or 00:32:27)Cancel culture refers to the popular practice of withdrawing support for (canceling) public figures and companies after they have done or said something considered objectionable or offensive. Cancel culture is generally discussed as being performed on social media in the form of group shaming.

Certain words are central to our civilization, so it is good to reflect on their meaning. The most central words, such as the word liberty, often carry multiple meanings and has been the theme for debates over the centuries. The definition of and interpretation of the concept of liberty is key to the understanding of the liberal tradition, which is continuously under discussion and scrutiny. For Timbro these discussions are at the center of our interest. It is therefore a great pleasure for Timbro to host two of the most prominent participants in the debate on liberty in this week's Ideology Pod, professor Daniel B Klein and professor Helena Rosenblatt.   In this talk Dan Klein [econfaculty.gmu.edu] initially reviews four meanings of liberty, and relate those meanings to Benjamin Constant (1767-1830), Isaiah Berlin (1909-1997), and Raymond Aron (1905-1983). One of those meanings is the classical liberal meaning, centered on "others not messing with one's stuff", he says.    Helena Rosenblatt has argued recently [oll.libertyfund.org] in response to Klein's suggested interpretation of liberty “that it would be a great shame if any person calling themselves “liberal” adopted such a narrow and materialistic definition of liberty. In today's climate particularly, we need to draw on other resources within the liberal tradition to articulate and defend a more generous articulation.” Daniel Klein is Professor of Economics, JIN Chair at the Mercatus Center George Mason University and director of the Adam Smith Program. He is the author of Knowledge and Coordination: A Liberal Interpretation (OUP, 2012). He is chief editor of Econ Journal Watch.  Helena Rosenblatt, recent recipient of a prestigious Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship, teaches in the PhD Programs in History, French, and Politicial Science, and the MA Program in Liberal Studies at the Graduate Center at the City Universtiy of New York. She is also a faculty member of the M.A. Program in Biography and Memoir. Her 2018 book The Lost History of Liberalism: From Ancient Rome to the Twenty-first Century has been the theme for earlier talks on liberalism at Timbro.  Björn Hasselgren introduces the talk. Björn Hasselgren is Senior Fellow at Timbro and has a PhD from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm and is a Guest Researcher at the Economic History Department at Uppsala University. He arranges Timbro activities in relation to the classical liberal heritage, such as the Classical Liberal Summer Seminar.

Professor i historie, Helena Rosenblatt, har skrevet om liberalismen og forteller om ulike forståelser av det å være liberal og hvorfor mange i dag ikke vil kalle seg liberale.

Helena Rosenblatt and Daniel Klein debate the origins of liberalism. Rosenblatt believes that Klein misuses Adam Smith. However, there is no way to know how Adam Smith would have acted in today’s political climate.What is liberalism? What is the political meaning of liberalism? How old is the idea of liberty? Was Edmund Burke thought of himself as a conservative? Is it a mistake to think that libertarians are part of the liberal tradition? At what point for example, does John Locke become called a liberal?Further Reading:The Lost History of Liberalism, written by Helena RosenblattLiberty Between the Lines in a Statist and Modernist Age, written by Daniel KleinThe Wealth of Nations, Adam SmithRelated Content:Was Adam Smith a Libertarian?, written by Paul MuellerSelf-Interest and Social Order in Classical Liberalism: Thomas Hobbes, written by George H.

How is it that “liberalism” is a word so ubiquitous and yet we can hardly seem to agree on its meaning? In her book The Lost History of Liberalism: From Ancient Rome to the Twenty-First Century (Princeton University Press, 2018), Helena Rosenblatt traces the history of the words “liberal” and “liberalism” in order to understand how liberals defined themselves, and what they meant when they spoke about liberalism. In recovering liberalism’s roots in the French Revolution, as well as highlighting the centrality of the German thinkers who transformed it, Rosenblatt debunks the myth of liberalism as an Anglo-American tradition centered on individual rights.
