이 연구는 서구 자유주의적 권리개념과 의무/책 무개념의 체계적 특성과 정치∙사회 질서개념으로 서의 성격을 드러내기 위한 것이다. 연구결과는 2가 지로 요약된다. 1)권리-의/책무개념체계가 사회 전 부문에 걸친 개인 삶의 현재적, 잠재적 요구를 삶의 질서에 부합하게 구성하여 사회관계 기본단위질서 로 표현할 수 있다. 2)이 개념체계는, 서구 자유주 의사회의 정치∙사회 질서체계를 3층위복합 개념 질서체계로 구성하여 표현할 수 있다. 연구결과는 크게 2가지를 시사해준다. 1)자유민주주의 정치∙ 사회는 사회구성원들의 유기적으로 통합된 삶의 영 역이고, 그 정치∙사회질서는 연속된 사회구성원들 삶의 질서의 반영이어야 한다. 2)사적인 개인의 삶 의 요구와 공적인 정치∙사회질서의 요구는 삶의 질서의 연속선상에서 상호 피드백과정 속에 있다. 더불어 이 연구결과는 개념 질서체계가 정치∙사회 제도 질서체계에 비하여 2가지 특장이 있음을 보여 주었다. 1)개념 질서체계는 정치∙사회질서의 변화 및 생성과정을 보다 현실에 부합하게 설명해줄 수 있다. 2)개념 질서체계는 정치∙사회질서의 안정도 에 대한 보다 구체적인 정보를 제공할 수 있다.

This study is to expose characteristics of the Western liberal conceptual system of rightsduties( obligations) focused on its conceptual structure as well as on its roles of expressing and constituting politico-social orders of liberal democratic societies. Two main results of the study: 1)The conceptual system can construct politico-social demands, present and potential, of the constituents in any liberal and democratic society into the order-units of politico-social relations and express the latter into its conceptual-relational-order; 2)The conceptual system can constitute the individual-living-orders and the social-relational-order-units as such into politico-social order system and express the latter into its complex-three-layered conceptual order system. Two main implications of these results: 1)Any liberal democratic society should be conceived as a network of individual lives, and its politico-social orders should be understood as a reflection of individuals' enduring living orders; 2)The demands from private individual lives and those from public politico-social orders in that society are in mutually feedback and ongoing processes. Two stronger points of the conceptual order-system compared to the politico-social order-system understood per se: 1)The former provides us with more realistic explanations about politico-social orders; 2)The former provides us with more concrete information concerning the stability level of the existing politico-social orders.
