Mariam Thalos

A Social Theory of Freedom

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book rejects the premise that a theory of freedom is fundamentally a theory of the metaphysics of constraint and, instead, lays out a political conception of freedom that is closely aligned with questions of social identity, self-development in contexts of intimate relationships, and social solidarity.
