Classical liberalism has as its origin the logic of Aristotle which then blended with Christianity - during the summertime intensity of that Revelation - in the works of St. Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, the Spanish Scholastics and has carried to the present in the works of Fredrick Bastiat, Carl Menger, Ludwig von Mises, Murray Rothbard and contemporaries like Hans Hermann-Hoppe, etc. Classical liberalism is what blended with Christianity to form the fruit of the divine civilization brought by Christ in what is referred to as Western Civilization. The formation of the State is what began to destroy (or attempt to destroy) classical liberalism. At some point in a deliberate effort to pervert classical liberalism a new designation was assigned to the separation of economic liberties and civil liberites, and that is when the definition of liberalism was severed from its philosophical roots of classical liberalism.
