Von der hinteren Coverseite

The most substantial anthology on the philosophy of freedom ever compiled, this volume is a broad guide to the vast philosophical literature on the topic of social, political, and economic freedom. The editors, themselves important contributors to the relevant debates, focus Freedom: A Philosophical Anthology on work completed over the last two decades, but also include foundational writings from historically significant philosophers such as Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Marx, Hegel, Bentham, Montesquieu, and Kant. Topics include negative and positive freedom; government and arbitrary power; freedom and the mind; freedom and morality; coercion; autonomy; freedom, ability, and economic inequality; and the value and measurement of freedom. Covering a wide diversity of political points of view, the range and quality of writings in this anthology make it an ideal and versatile course text.
