Equality in Liberty and Justice is an integrated collection of
essays in political philosophy, divided into two parts. The first
examines (classically) liberal ideas-the ideas of the Founding
Fathers of the American republic-and some of the applications and
the rejections of such ideas in our contemporary world. Among other
questions about liberty and responsibility it considers, in the
context of the imprisonment and psychiatric treatment of dissidents
in the psychiatric hospitals of the former Soviet Union, Plato's
suggestion that all delinquency is an expression of mental
disease.The second part examines the relations and the lack of
relations between old fashioned, without prefix or suffix, justice
and what is called by its promoters social justice. It therefore
presses such questions as "Equal outcomes or equal justice?" and
"Enemies of poverty or of inequality?"Equality in Liberty and
Justice was originally published before the winning of the Cold War
and the collapse of the Soviet Empire. This second edition updates
the arguments of the previous editor and draws present day moral
conclusions. This book will appeal to those for whom the classical
liberal and conservative debates still have great meaning. Flew
might well be the most significant sunthesizer of Tocqueville and
Mill.
