It is one thing to assert that ordered liberty is indispensible to
the preservation of open markets and democratic political orders;
it is another to explain what ordered liberty is and how it emerges
and endures. If an explanation of any phenomenon should be on the
level of the best science of the day, then a study of ordered
liberty should ask some hard questions. How do advances in the
neurosciences alter how we understand and talk about liberty? How
do we break our dependence on the residual language of faculty
psychology, e.g. talk of free will, volition, reason or rational
intellect? For that matter, how do we break free of the metaphors
of an eighteenth-century mechanistic worldview, e.g. talk of
determinisms and of mechanisms in the brain? This book answers
these basic questions and in the process constructs a normative
notion of liberty.
