“The right to freedom of expression is justified first of all as the right of an individual purely in his capacity as an individual. It derives from the widely accepted premise of Western thought that the proper end of man is the realization of his character and potentialities as a human being.” MenFirstsHumansEndsCharacterIndividualHuman BeingsAcceptanceExpressionCapacityWesternAcceptedCivil RightsRealizationJustifiedPremisesFreedom Of Expression Author:Thomas I.

“Modern anthropology ... opposes the utilitarian assumption that the primitive chants as he sows seed because he believes that otherwise it will not grow, the assumption that his economic goal is primary, and his other activities are instrumental to it. The planting and the cultivating are no less important than the finished product. Life is not conceived as a linear progression directed to, and justified by, the achievement of a series of goals; it is a cycle in which ends cannot be isolated, one which cannot be dissected into a series of ends and means.” BelieveMeanImportantEndsLife IsGrowsGoalEconomicModernProductsActivityAchievementSeriesFinishedSeedsPrimariesAssumptionCyclesIsolatedPrimitiveJustifiedProgressionAnthropologyLinearCultivatingUtilitarianEnds And Means Book:Break-Out from the Crystal Palace: The Anarcho-Psychological Critique: Stirner, Nietzsche, Dostoevsky Source: Break-Out from the Crystal Palace: The Anarcho-Psychological Critique: Stirner, Nietzsche, Dostoevsky
