“We will freedom for freedom’s sake, in and through particular circumstances. And in thus willing freedom, we discover that it depends entirely upon the freedom of others and that the freedom of others depends upon our own. Obviously, freedom as the definition of a man does not depend upon others, but as soon as there is a commitment, I am obliged to will the liberty of others at the same time as my own. I cannot make liberty my aim unless I make that of others equally my aim.” MenDoeMy OwnLibertyParticularWillingDependsCircumstancesCommitmentAimSakeDefinitionsObliged Author:Jean-Paul Sartre

“To me this question whether liberty is a good or a bad thing appears as irrational as the question whether fire is a good or a bad thing. It is both good and bad according to time, place, and circumstance, and a complete answer to the question, In what cases is liberty good and in what cases is it bad? would involve not merely a universal history of mankind, but a complete solution of the problems which such a history would offer.” ProblemAnswersLibertyCasesFireMankindCircumstancesOffersSolutionsUniversalBad ThingsIrrationalGood And Bad Author:James Fitzjames Stephen
