Abstract
Modern liberalism represented by Hayek and others starts from the profound nationalism and strong rebound of nationalism in the 20th century,and then re-seeks the new combination with the classical liberalism to deal with the current predicament.For new threats of enslavement to individuals by countries,Hayek strongly reclaims self without enforcement,stresses individual freedom,and bases its theory of freedom on man's ignorance or rationality deficiency.However,the theory of ignorance cannot guarantee freedom,and the freedom proved by Hayek is both of consequentialism and process theory.Contradictory views and logical arguments form the paradoxes of his theory,and hence results in the metaphysics he strongly objects.
