Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Thu, 09/05/2024 - 00:19

The importance of the ethical principles of individualism and tolerance in the political ethics of liberalism has been studied from the moment of the emergence of liberal ideology to the present day. Using the conceptions of Russian and foreign philosophers, the author traces the relationship of these principles with the situation of the collapse and crisis of the moral system of the post-modern society. The author claims that the liberal doctrine as a whole has a paradoxical effect on the moral consciousness of the modern person, hindering his self-identification.

The United States is traditionally perceived as a country dominated by liberal individualism. However, recently there has been a rise in the ideology of new equality. It presupposes the interpretation of the ideal of equality as equality of results, and in the collectivist dimension, i.e. as equality between some significant social groups, which is achieved through positive discrimination. This ideology received its philosophical justification in the left-liberal versions of the theory of justice - liberal egalitarianism and communitarianism.
