Main Opnions

Individualists needed solid value support. After studying theology, Liu Xiaofeng began to understand that the secularized liberalism had theology as its source of value. Without God's salvation, the individualists of liberalism couldn't carry out their own strong ethical practice in real life, they could only be depressed and even died of withering. This was the fate of modern Chinese liberalism, whose core was Zhuangzi value nihilism.

Controversy

Liu and Gan thought that Strauss they introduced is not a kind of "doctrine". They thought that "doctrine" was the product of modernity and the result of blind superstition of the common people (opposite to philosophers). In fact, however, Strauss doctrine was emerging quietly.
