Freedom and Limits is a defense of the value of freedom in the
context of human finitude. A contribution to the American tradition
of philosophy, it focuses attention on moral problems as we
encounter them in daily life, where the search for perfection and
the incessant drive to meet obligations make it difficult to attain
satisfaction. The book argues that uniformity is unproductive:
Human natures are varied and changeable, making the effort to
impose a unitary good on everyone futile. Moreover, we don't need
to strive for more than what is good enough: Finite achievements
should be adequate to satisfy finite people. The ultimate aim of
the book is to reclaim the role of philosophy as a guide to life.
In doing so, it presents discussions of such important philosophers
as Fichte, Hegel, Peirce, Dewey, James, and, above all, Santayana.
