The Disease of Liberty

Více o knize

Exploring the philosophical implications of Thomas Jefferson's views on liberty, this book argues that human history is marked by a transition from primal independence to structured societies requiring laws for order. Jefferson's belief in the inherent equality of all individuals underpins his vision of a reason-oriented republic that fosters civic liberty. The text positions Jefferson alongside Enlightenment thinkers like Hume and Kant, examining how his ideas could inspire a global community of free societies, distinct from existing political analyses of his ideology.
