Autonomy and Rights

Více o knize

Focusing on the moral foundations of classical liberalism, the book challenges the prevailing views of Egalitarianism and Marxism. The author critiques the traditional emphasis on negative freedom and proposes a new framework centered on the obligation to protect positive freedom. This alternative theory diverges from utilitarianism, contractarianism, and natural rights, exploring concepts such as moral rights, personal autonomy, and the unique value of each individual. Key discussions include the relationship between freedom types and the relativity of moral reasons.
