Those with a belief in open society base the demand for liberty on
the recognition of human ignorance; we need to be free because we
are ignorant and fallible. Free social cooperation permits us to
mobilize our knowledge and develop methods of discovery through
which we can explore the unknown and continually correct our
errors. To assent to free cooperation is to accept critical
discussion, democracy and the market and in this way we are able to
increase our rationality and further political and economic
development.
Improvement in the conditions of our lives, therefore, does not
come from the omniscience attributed to some enlightened legislator
or planner. Ignorance and Liberty examines how the market is a
place which liberates us from this idea of a privileged source of
knowledge. The market is not only a place where goods are exchanged
but also where different philosophical ideas and religious beliefs
must co-habit, opening up new horizons and undermining the sense of
an absolute that prevails in a closed world.
