"Those of us who work in moral and political philosophy owe a great
debt of gratitude to the editors for taking such care in assembling
this wonderful anthology. This is easily the best, most exhaustive
collection on Freedom with which I am familiar." Christopher
Wellman, Washington University in St Louis
"Among the main themes of this superb collection is that freedom
has many dimensions, and among the many conditions of securing it
is a willingness not to exaggerate the importance of securing
everything. Every college should teach a course on freedom and its
prerequisites, and Freedom: An Anthology would serve
admirably as a primary reference text." David Schmidtz,
University of Arizona
