Right Road to Radical Freedom by Tibor R Machan

Right Road to Radical Freedom by Tibor R Machan

This work focuses on the topic of freedom. The author starts with the old issue of free will -- do we as individual human beings choose our conduct, at least partly independently, freely? He comes down on the side of libertarians who answer Yes, and scorns the compatibilism of philosophers like Daniel Dennett, who try to rescue some kind of freedom from a physically determined universe. From here he moves on to apply his belief in radical freedom to areas of life such as religion, politics, and morality, tackling subjects as diverse as taxation, private property, justice and the welfare state.

Tibor R. Machan holds the R.C. Hoiles Chair in Business Ethics and Free Enterprise at the Argyros School of Business and Economics, Chapman University. He has previously held positions at State University of New York-Fredonia, University of California-Santa Barbara, University of San Diego, Auburn University, and the United States Military Academy, among others, and serves as a Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution. He is a frequent contributor to The Orange County Register, The New York Times, National Review, Reason, and many other periodicals. He has published dozens of books, contributed chapters, and scholarly articles on a wide variety of topics, including liberty and freedom, morality, and ethics in business, politics, and society. He holds degrees in philosophy from Claremont McKenna College (B.A.), New York University (M.A.), and University of California-Santa Barbara (Ph.D.).
