Ideas about Freedom: A Discussion delves into the mysterious regions of liberal and conservative philosophy. Why do liberals and conservatives not join forces more often, when their goals seem so compatible?
Kenneth R. Minogue and John Gray, in separate essays, examine the history and assumptions behind liberalism and conservatism. They place the two doctrines squarely in the world of toady and recommend more cooperation between them in trying to form a better society.
Hannes H. Gissurarson comments on the two essays, drawing together, strands of the arguments and emphasising that society must continue to progress towards a condition of freedom for all people.
These essays make an approachable introduction to the intricacies of our philosophical roots.
