Equality in Liberty and Justice

By Antony Flew

Book Overview

Equality in Liberty and Justice is an integrated collection of essays in political philosophy, divided into two parts. The first examines (classically) liberal ideas -- the ideas of the founding fathers of the American republic -- and some of the applications and the rejections of such ideas in our contemporary world. Among other questions about liberty and responsibility it considers, in the context of the imprisonment and psychiatric treatment of dissidents in the psychiatric hospitals of the former Soviet Union, is Plato's suggestion that all delinquency is an expression of mental disease.
