The role of the idea of freedom as central to modernity is assessed in a number of dimensions: natural, economic-social, artistic and scientific, political, and personal-metaphysical. The Kantian notion of autonomy--central to both freedom and modernity--is discussed in terms of art, ethics, education, rights to privacy, free enterprise, constitutional issues, and more, describing in detail the fundamental role of freedom at the heart of modern life. Written in a sophisticated but straightforward style, HoÂffe draws not just on philosophy, but also economics, law, and literature, in order to clearly distinguish and appreciate the many meanings of freedom, and the indispensable role they play in liberal society. This is a bold, ambitious book that will appeal to anyone interested in the philosophical foundations of democratic life"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Liberty $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Civilization, Modern $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Philosophy, Modern. 650 0 $a Ethics, Modern. 650 7 $a PHILOSOPHY / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Civilization, Modern $x Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00863096 650 7 $a Ethics, Modern. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00915883 650 7 $a Liberty $x Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00997259 650 7 $a Philosophy, Modern. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01061071 700 1 $a Schott, Nils F., $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210617021446.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AB9EBCBACF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
