倫敦經濟學院(LSE)由幾位富社會改革思想的英國知識人創立於19世紀末，一直吸引著來自世界各地的學子前來求學問道。其中在1920年代到二次世界大戰之後，LSE的不少思想家，例如政治學的Harold Laski，經濟學的F A Hayek，哲學的Karl Popper，以及LSE的前院長William Beveridge，他們對不少五四以來包括香港在內的中華地區的知識人，例如羅隆基、傅斯年、周德偉、殷海光、林毓生等在思想上和政治實踐上產生了具大影響。今次沙龍，讓我們回顧這些影響和其中的意義。

The London School of Economics (LSE) was founded by leading social reformers of Britain in the late 19th century and has since attracted talented students from all over the world to come to learn from its scholars for the betterment of society. From the 1920s to the post-War era, leading LSE thinkers such as the political scientist Harold Laski, the economist F A Hayek, the philosopher Karl Popper and former LSE Director William Beveridge influenced the ideas and political practice of many May-fourth and post May-fourth intellectuals in the Chinese mainland, Taiwan and Hong Kong (e.g. Luo Longji, Fu Ssu-nien, David Chow, Yin Hai-kuang and Lin Yu-sheng). This talk proposes to review this influence and to explore its significant implications.
