抽象个人主义与《论自由》

Abstract individualism and On Liberty

抽象个人主义是古典自由主义思想的一个重要假设 ,这一概念在密尔《论自由》一书中得到了严密而系统的论证。密尔是从认识论个人主义、经济个人主义和伦理个人主义三个方面充实抽象个人主义这一概念的。这个概念在思想史上具有重要的方法论意义。

Abstract individualism is an important hypothesis of the classic liberalism, as is systematically and strictly expounded in John Stuary Mill On Liberty (1859). The conception 'abstract individualism' is generalized and enriched by Mill from three perspectives, cognitive, economical, and ethical. This conception has a vital methodological significance in the history of thoughts.
