Description

Equality in Liberty and Justice is an integrated collection of essays in political philosophy, divided into two parts.

The first examines (classically) liberal ideas-the ideas of the Founding Fathers of the American republic-and some of the applications and the rejections of such ideas in our contemporary world.

Among other questions about liberty and responsibility it considers, in the context of the imprisonment and psychiatric treatment of dissidents in the psychiatric hospitals of the former Soviet Union, Plato's suggestion that all delinquency is an expression of mental disease.The second part examines the relations and the lack of relations between old fashioned, without prefix or suffix, justice and what is called by its promoters social justice.

It therefore presses such questions as "Equal outcomes or equal justice?" and "Enemies of poverty or of inequality?"Equality in Liberty and Justice was originally published before the winning of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Empire.

This second edition updates the arguments of the previous editor and draws present day moral conclusions.

This book will appeal to those for whom the classical liberal and conservative debates still have great meaning.

Flew might well be the most significant sunthesizer of Tocqueville and Mill.
