IDEOLOGICAL GROUNDS OF LIBERALISM: PHILOSOPHICAL DIMENSION

  • Г.М. Куц
Keywords: liberalism, philosophy, progress, rationalism, individualism

Abstract

The ideological grounds of liberalism – in contrast to the ideological and theoretical – evolved much earlier. Liberalism is obliged to set its origin to a variety of factors (the philosophical ideas of the Enlightenment, political revolutions, in particular, the French, the destruction of feudal relations, industrial and technological change, etc.), which generally gave a powerful impetus for its formation. The article is aimed at identifying the sources of liberalism ideas, the determinants of its appearance in the philosophical context. It is proved that a synthesis of the philosophical ideas of progress (which is closely linked to the idea of rationalism), and individualism was very fruitful for the emergence of liberalism. These ideas, being basic for the liberal discourse, contributed to the design of conceptual framework of liberalism.
