Reclaiming Liberalism
Über dieses E-Book
—Stephen R. C. Hicks, Professor of Philosophy at Rockford University.
This collection redresses the conceptual hubris and illiteracy that has come to obscure the central presuppositions of classical liberalism - that is, the wresting of epistemic independence from overwhelming concentrations of power, monopolies and capricious zealotries, whether they be statist, religious or corporate in character.
