Beschreibung:
On Ordered Liberty goes beyond the liberal and conservative divide, asking its readers to think about the proper ends of human choice and actions in a free society. Beginning with the insights of Alexis de Tocqueville and some natural law sources, author Samuel Gregg suggests that integral law must be distinguished from most contemporary visions of freedom. This requires, he believes, a complete repudiation of utilitarian ideas as incompatable with human nature and further analysis of the basic but often neglected-question: what is man?
Beginning with the insights of Alexis de Tocqueville and some natural law sources, this work suggests that integral law must be distinguished from most contemporary visions of freedom. It goes beyond the liberal and conservative divide, and covers actions in a free society.
