The Morality of Freedom Summary

The Morality of Freedom by Joseph Raz (Professor of Philosophy of Law and Fellow of Balliol College, Professor of Philosophy of Law and Fellow of Balliol College, University of Oxford)

Ranging over central issues of morals and politics, this book discusses the nature of freedom and authority. It examines the role of value-neutrality, rights, equality, and the prevention of harm in the liberal tradition, and relates them to fundamental moral questions such as the relation of values to social forms, the comparability of values, and the significance of personal commitments.
