Leonard Trelawney Hobhouse's Liberalism is an influential work that examines the basic principles and ideas of liberalism in political theory. The author examines the concepts of individual freedom, equality before the law, civil rights and the role of the state in guaranteeing these principles. The book analyzes in detail the historical roots of liberalism, its development and significance for the development of society. "Liberalism" is not only an attempt to define the essence of liberal ideas, but also an invitation to deep discussion and critical reflection on the principles on which modern political culture is based.
