This book is unique among contemporary approaches - although it
is true to the spirit of classical writers like Hobbes and Kant -
in seeking a theory that applies to psychological issues of free
agency and free will as well as to political issues in the theory
of the free state and the free constitution. The driving thesis is
that it is only by connecting up the different issues of freedom,
psychological and political, that we can fully appreciate the
nature of the questions involved, and the requirements for their
resolution. The book does not not seek a comprehensive reach just
for its own sake, but rather for the sake of the illumination it
provides.
A Theory of Freedom is a ground-breaking volume which will be of wide interest to scholars and students in political philosophy and political science.
