Sinopse

In "Freedom and Human Achievement," Jeff Love delivers a passionate, comprehensive treatise on the philosophical underpinnings of liberty and its essential role in human flourishing. Taking readers on a sweeping historical journey from Ancient Greece through the American founding to our present day, Love demonstrates how periods of human advancement have consistently coincided with eras of greater freedom.
 
Love argues that freedom is the primary driver of human achievement, examining how political systems that emphasize individual sovereignty produce prosperity, while collectivist ideologies inevitably lead to stagnation and decline. With meticulous attention to constitutional principles, he dissects modern threats to freedom including government expansion, judicial overreach, excessive taxation, and mounting national debt.
 
Drawing on thinkers from Aristotle and Locke to Jefferson and Madison, "Freedom and Human Achievement" makes a compelling case for limited government and greater personal responsibility. Love doesn't merely diagnose societal problems but offers concrete solutions for restoring America's founding principles, including constitutional amendments, legislative reforms, and civic engagement.
 
At once a scholarly examination of freedom's philosophical basis and an impassioned call to action, this book will challenge readers to reconsider their understanding of liberty's role in human progress and its fragility in the modern world.
 
If you enjoyed "The Road to Serfdom" by F.A. Hayek, "Basic Economics" by Thomas Sowell, and "Liberty Defined" by Ron Paul, you'll love "Freedom and Human Achievement."

    The Republic is a Socratic dialogue, authored by Plato around 375 BCE, concerning justice, the order and character of the just city-state, and the just man.It is Plato's best-known work, and one of the world's most influential works of philosophy and political theory, both intellectually and historically. 
    In the dialogue, Socrates discusses the meaning of justice and whether the just man is happier than the unjust man with various Athenians and foreigners. He considers the natures of existing regimes and then proposes a series of hypothetical cities in comparison, culminating in Kallipolis , a utopian city-state ruled by a philosopher-king. They also discuss ageing, love, theory of forms, the immortality of the soul, and the role of the philosopher and of poetry in society. The dialogue's setting seems to be the time of the Peloponnesian War
