关于此电子书

William Frank Buckley Jr.’s third book, originally published in 1959, is an urbane and controversial attack on the manners and meaning of American Liberalism in the 1950s. His thesis is that the leading American liberals can be shown, in their speeches and statements, in the tacit premises that underlie their words and deeds, to be suffering from a long, but definable list of social and philosophical prejudices. “Up From Liberalism” examines the root assumptions of the Liberalism of his era and asks the startling question: do the actions of prominent liberalism derive from the attributes of Liberalism?

“Mr. Buckley is one of the most articulate of the critics of today’s liberalism and deserves to be heard.”—Washington Star

“Buckley brilliantly excoriates a philosophy he calls liberalism.”—Newsweek

作者简介

William Frank Buckley Jr. (November 24, 1925 - February 27, 2008) was an American conservative author and commentator. Born in New York, he spent several years studying in England and France. He served in the Army during World War II, and entered Yale in 1946, where he was chairman of the college paper. He graduated from Yale, with honors, in 1950. His first book, the bestseller God and Man at Yale, was published in 1951, in which he raised the searching question: What are today’s students being taught? He founded National Review magazine in 1955, which had a major impact in stimulating the conservative movement, hosted 1,429 episodes of the television show Firing Line (1966-1999), where he became known for his transatlantic accent and wide vocabulary, and wrote a nationally syndicated newspaper column and numerous spy novels. Barry Morris Goldwater (January 1, 1909 - May 29, 1998) was an American politician and businessman who was a five-term United States Senator from Arizona (1953-65, 1969-87) and the Republican Party’s nominee for President of the United States in the 1964 election. Despite losing the election by a landslide, Goldwater is the politician most often credited for sparking the resurgence of the American conservative political movement in the 1960s. He also had a substantial impact on the libertarian movement.
