The Philosophy of Liberty

What is Liberty?

The Philosophy of Liberty is a flash animation based on the epilogue of Ken Schoolland's book, "The Adventures of Jonathan Gullible."

Immanuel Kant was a Prussian philosopher and metaphysician. In the way that most of the early Greek thought was based on Socrates, most of the later German philosophy is based on Kant. This essay, written   more...in 1795, puts forth a plan for a lasting peace between nations and peoples. Kant puts forth necessary means to any peace, and argues that nations can be brought into federation with one another without loss of sovereignty.

It’s an interesting fact to note that all 6 requirements for peace Kant pointed to in his essay are being entirely neglected today.


The main points of his essay:

1) “No conclusion of peace shall be held to be valid as such, when it has been made with the secret reservation of the material for a future war”

2) “No state having an existence by itself- whetever it be small or large-shall be acquirable by another state through inheritance, exchange, purchase or donation.”

3) “Standing armies shall be entirely abolished in the course of time”

4) “No national debts shall be contracted in connection with the external affairs of the state.”

5) “No state shall intermeddle by force with the constitution or government of another state.”

6) “No state at war with another shall adopt such modes of hostility as would necessarily render mutual confidence impossible in a future peace”

Hayek explores the limitations of   more...democratic delegation when used to lay out means to yet to be chosen ends. He continues by exploring the limitations presented by Democracy itself and why the decline into totalitarian control becomes inevitable. He concludes by exploring Democracy's place in politics and its role in strengthening arbitrary government power.  less

Hayek explores socialism against   more...collectivism. He illustrates that it is the coercive means liberals disagree with and not the egalitarian ends. He continues by exploring individual planning as compared to collective, central planning.  less

A short video based on Immanuel Kant's essay "What is enlightenment?"

"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-incurred immaturity. Immaturity is the inability to use one's own understanding   more...without the guidance of another. This immaturity is self-incurred if its cause is not lack of understanding, but lack of resolution and courage to use it without the guidance of another. The motto of enlightenment is therefore: Sapere aude! Have courage to use your own understanding!"

Most people think of slavery as something humans force upon each other, something based on chains, cages and such things. Many are not even aware that there are many different kinds of slavery and that   more...most of them are not based on what humans do to others but our weakness of mind.

Rothbard   more...examines the polices of Lincoln and the Republican Party during the Civil War.
