Product Description
Product Description
Freedom is an introductory textbook to the arguments about individual freedom by acclaimed textbook author, Nigel Warburton.
From the Back Cover
Freedom: An Introduction with Readings is an introduction to the arguments about individual freedom. It presupposes no prior knowledge of philosophy or political thought and is ideal for anyone coming to the topic for the first time.
With the beginner firmly in mind, Nigel Warburton carefully introduces and assesses the key arguments for and against individual freedom. Each chapter considers a fundamental argument about the scope of individual freedom, including the concepts of negative and positive freedom, freedom of belief, the Harm Principle, and freedom of speech and expression. Each argument is then clearly linked to a Reading from key thinkers on each of these problems: Isaiah Berlin, Jeremy Waldron, Jonathan Wolff, Bernard Williams, Ronald Dworkin, H.L.A. Hart and Charles Taylor.
By the end of the book, students will be able to:
understand and evaluate some of the most important philosophical arguments for and against individual freedom
link classic philosophical arguments to contemporary issues, such as freedom of speech and expression
approach philosophical texts with the ability to think clearly and critically
Key features also include clear exercises and discussion points so that readers can monitor their progress throughout the book, chapter summaries, and guides to further reading.
Freedom: An Introduction with Readings is a superb introduction to thinking clearly about the arguments for and against individual freedom and toleration. It will be of interest to students of philosophy, politics and critical thinking.
