Publisher's Synopsis
""Freedom and Responsibility"" is a philosophical work by John Dewey that explores the relationship between individual freedom and social responsibility. Dewey argues that freedom is not simply the absence of external constraints, but rather a positive power to act in accordance with one's own desires and goals. However, this freedom must be balanced with a sense of responsibility towards others and the larger community. Dewey also critiques traditional notions of individualism and argues for a more social conception of the self. The book is a seminal work in the field of political philosophy and continues to be widely read and debated today.THIS 22 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Study of Ethics, A Syllabus, by John Dewey.
