Publisher's Synopsis
The Reconciliation of Government with Liberty is a book written by John W. Burgess that explores the relationship between government and liberty. The author argues that these two concepts are often seen as being in conflict with each other, but they can actually be reconciled. He examines the historical development of the idea of liberty and how it has been understood and implemented by governments throughout history. Burgess also discusses the challenges that arise when trying to balance individual freedom with the need for a strong and effective government. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the tension between government and liberty, and offers insights into how this tension can be resolved. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in political philosophy, government, and the concept of liberty.1915.
