자유주의와 공동체주의의 주요 논쟁점에 대한 검토

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Liberalism and communitarianism seek different values and virtues. And they have different viewpoints about the problems of self identity, the neutrality of state, and the relation of justice(right) and happiness(good). liberalism emphasizes the liberal rights and autonomy of individuals and insists that individuals should have the maximal liberty unless they are harmful to the others. It insists that the state or the society should not interfere the values and the lifestyles of individuals. It emphasizes the general moral norms and the priority of justice to happiness. Communitarianism emphasizes the communal values and solidarity and insists that individuals should have the social and historical obligation because self identities of individuals are made in the history and tradition of community. It insists that the state or society should try to help individuals to admit the values and tradition of community. It emphasizes the special ethical norms and the inseparability of justice and happiness. Liberalism and communitarianism have shortcomings. We should seek the ways of combining the solidarity of community with the autonomy of individual.
