Talk:Norberto Bobbio

message: I keep seeing this phrase in various wikipedia articles.  What on earth does it mean?  It's a contradiction in terms.  Shouldn't it just be "radical" or "leftist" or "progressive activist"?  How does liberalism come into the picture?

replies: text: There is classical liberalism, which is what modern day Republicans are generally. They believe in limited gov't, separation of church and state (at least they used to), and many of those other principles that caused the U.S. to break with England. Radical liberalism corresponds generally to Democrats who also believe in those principles, but also believe that the governmemt has an obligation to its citizens to intervene in the economy in their interest. Another big difference in these two cultures is that while New Deal type of reforms help adults and children, usually classical liberals only support such proposals if they only help children.

message: Dear all, 
in my edition of Bobbio's work, there is a simpler distinction between left and right than the one that is presented in the article. It is based in the duality property versus society. A right wing person will favor property in relation to society, while a left wing person will favor society over property. 
Of course the distinction in the article is not by any means wrong. However, Bobbio was a gifted teacher, and it is a better idea to present his thought in a very clear way, since that's what he would prefer to do. 
All the best,

message: University of Turin  not Marburg is his Alma Mater ! (he did a summer course in Marburg at a very interesting time)  I corrected the info box   
Also it would be important to write something about this period.  
More generally, the article could be of much better quality
