Professor Rosenblatt presents a study of Benjamin Constant's intellectual development into a founding father of modern liberalism, through a careful analysis of his evolving views on religion. Constant's life spanned the Enlightenment, the French Revolution, Napoleon's rise and rule, and the Bourbon Restoration. Rosenblatt analyses Constant's key role in many of this era's heated debates over the role of religion in politics, and in doing so, exposes and addresses many misconceptions that have long reigned about Constant and his period. In particular, Rosenblatt sheds light on Constant's major, yet much-neglected work, De La Religion. Given that the role of religion is, once again, center-stage in our political, philosophical and historical arenas, Liberal Values constitutes a major and timely revision of our understanding of the origins of modern liberalism.

用的是剑桥学派语境主义的方法，对贡斯当的宗教思想与政治思想做了一个思想传记。因为研究方法的缘故，本书展示了很多贡斯当生活年代法国甚至德国的政治局势与思潮，也开发了很多二流思想家和作家的书籍文章，因此细节丰富，令人大开眼界（用剑桥学派的方法大概只能去国外做研究了）。书里以详实的证据梳理了贡斯当本人的宗教信仰：从无神论（或异教信仰）转到了新教信仰，并与他的政治理论交织在一起。对贡斯当很不constant做出了解释：他更为关注权力的总量，因而政体形式或谁在位的问题退居其次。不过宗教和政治两条线总感觉结合得不是很紧密，虽然强调了宗教观点与政治观点的对应性，但两者究竟是如何发生关系的却浅尝辄止，流于表面。另外，书里过于依赖二手文献（是不是语境主义方法的通病？），很多内容有所重复。
