Freedom

""Freedom: Promise and Menace, A Critique on the Cult of Freedom"" by Scott Nearing is a thought-provoking book that challenges the traditional notion of freedom as an absolute good. The author argues that the concept of freedom has been distorted and manipulated to serve the interests of the powerful, leading to the oppression and exploitation of the less privileged. Through a historical analysis of the evolution of the concept of freedom, Nearing highlights the contradictions and limitations of individualistic notions of freedom, which fail to take into account the social and economic factors that shape people's lives. He also explores the dangers of the cult of freedom, which glorifies individualism and ignores the collective responsibility that comes with living in a society.The book offers a nuanced and critical perspective on the concept of freedom, challenging readers to rethink their assumptions and question the dominant narratives that shape our understanding of this complex and multifaceted idea. It is a must-read for anyone interested in political philosophy, social justice, and the role of freedom in contemporary society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
