Cover of Anthony Weaver: Liberty as a Fundamental Principle (PDF)

Seminar paper from the year 2024 in the subject Politics – Miscellaneous, , language: English, abstract: The present treatise explains and defends liberty, or individual freedom, as the fundamental value of Western civilization in light of certain threats.

As Hayek states: “We must show that liberty is not merely one particular value but is the source and condition of most moral values.
