Synopsis Just Freedom: A Moral Compass for a Complex World by : Philip Pettit

Freedom, in Philip Pettit's provocative analysis, requires more than just being let alone. In Just Freedom, a succinct articulation of the republican philosophy for which he is renowned, Pettit builds a theory of universal freedom as nondomination. Seen through this lens, even societies that consider themselves free may find their political arrangements lacking. Do those arrangements protect people's liberties equally? Are they subject to the equally shared control of those they protect? Do they allow the different peoples of the world to live in equal freedom? With elegant, user-friendly tests of freedom--the eyeball test, the tough luck test, and the straight talk test--Pettit addresses these questions, laying out essential yardsticks for policymakers and concerned citizens alike. An invitation to join in a program that would better articulate and realize justice in our social, democratic, and international lives, Just Freedom offers readers an essential starting place for the world's thorniest problems.

Synopsis On Freedom by : Maggie Nelson

'One of the most electrifying writers at work in America today, among the sharpest and most supple thinkers of her generation' OLIVIA LAING What can freedom really mean? In this invigorating, essential book, Maggie Nelson explores how we might think, experience or talk about the concept in ways that are responsive to our divided world. Drawing on pop culture, theory and the intimacies and plain exchanges of daily life, she follows freedom - with all its complexities - through four realms: art, sex, drugs and climate. On Freedom offers a bold new perspective on the challenging times in which we live. 'Tremendously energising' Guardian 'This provocative meditation...shows Nelson at her most original and brilliant' New York Times 'Nelson is such a friend to her reader, such brilliant company... Exhilarating' Literary Review * A New York Times Notable Book * * A Guardian and TLS 'Books of 2021' Pick *

Synopsis The Only Path to Freedom is Truth. by : Daniel W Robinette, PH D

Have you ever wondered why for over 2000 years the Sons and Daughters of YHWH have not walked in the same power as the first believers? The only commonality restricting the outpouring of God is the organized man made authority of the churches. Ever wonder why you (and so many hundreds of millions of others) have stopped going to churches? Wonder why you are being drawn to the Jewish Feasts and the Sabbath? Ever wonder why you are drawn to God and Holy Spirit but find churches dominating, restrictive, controlling and judgmental? Do you find religious people mean and their behaviors appalling? Do you wonder exactly why you do and act the way you do and why you are always ostracized from the churches you do attend? The true path to God is through the Valley of the Shadow of Death to ALL man made religions. But take heart...we are all with you on your journey and you are never alone. No matter how alone you often at times feel. God never ever leaves you nor forsakes you and God will bring you through to your promised reward. Here are your answers and always remember it is better to live in truth than to die while still living, believing and practicing lies.
