Sommario/riassunto |
|
New interdisciplinary perspectives on the theory and practice of freedom, with field-specific studies.Some philosophers conceive freedom as a state; others view it as an ideal.

In this cross-disciplinary volume, the contributors reassess and rephrase the conceptualizations and theorizations of freedom and their applicability to daily life. Framed by historical contexts, their field-specific studies help reconcile theory and practice. Their shared and unique ideational framework can be paraphrased in six words, a question mark, and a (muted) exclamation point: Freedom? Beware what you wish for (!). |
