In Defense Of Freedom And Related Essays

Synopsis

First published in 1962, In Defense of Freedom examines the tension between the freedom of the person and the power of social institutions. In Frank Meyer's view, both the dominant liberalism and the New Conservatism of the American tradition place undue emphasis on the claims of social order at the expense of the individual person and liberty. In addition, Meyer insists that liberty is essential to the pursuit of virtue. Therefore, to Meyer, the proper end of political thought and action is the establishment and preservation of freedom. This edition also includes nine related essays, among them Libertarianism or Libertinism? , Freedom, Tradition, Conservatism and In Defense of John Stuart Mill .
