For centuries philosophers have wrestled with the dichotomy between
individual freedom on the one hand and collective solidarity on the
other. Yet today there is a growing realization that this template
is fundamentally flawed. In this book, Mark Young embraces and
advocates a more holistic concept of freedom; one which is not
merely defined negatively but which positively provides the
preconditions for individuals to actively exercise their autonomy
and to flourish as human beings in the process. Young posits the
idea of 'freedom in community' and traces its origin back to
Aristotle. Taking as his premise that humans are deeply social
beings who live their lives intricately interwoven with each other,
he examines what type of political community is relevant for us in
this post-Classical, post-Enlightenment and, indeed,
post-Existential world. Identifying the failure of traditional
'statist' models of politics, Young instead argues for a civil
society: a globally interlinked and free set of liberal communities
as the best context for nourishing human flourishing. In this way
we can achieve a proper setting for Eudaimonia in a modern sense.
