State and Individual: Political Concepts In Modern Political Writings

Mehr zum Buch

The book explores the principle of individual liberty, arguing that interference in a person's freedom is only justified for self-protection. It emphasizes that the state should not diminish personal autonomy for the sake of conformity or supposed greater good, as this leads to mediocrity and stifles true achievement. The text asserts that individuals possess absolute sovereignty over their own bodies and minds, and any justification for limiting this independence must be rooted in the potential harm to others.
