哈耶克对马克思：今天的挑战.pdf

Hayek versus Marx This book confronts today’s challenges of global warming, the protec- tion of our planet and of its human and other living species. In seeking solutions, it ranges widely over views about how human societies function, in particular those of Karl Marx and Friedrich Hayek, who were among the foremost thinkers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries respectively. The book deals fairly and critically with their ideas in the search for effective methods for tackling today’s problems. Looking closely at the social philosophies of these two towering fig- ures whose ideas were to dominate the lives of millions, the book tra- verses a range of disciplines from economics and philosophy to morality and the relationship that exists, or should exist, towards other living species and the environment. It compares and contrasts the ideas of Marx and Hayek about the social conditions required for humans to survive and flourish, and discusses how they conceptualised the heights to which humanity might aspire. It asks what the ideas of each might have to contribute to the changes in our thoughts and actions that must take place if the environment is to be protected, animal species are to survive and sustainability is to be achieved. This book will be of particular relevance to students and researchers in philosophy, sociology, Marxism, economics and to all concerned with social justice, global warming and planetary sustainability.
