First published in 1968, Freedom and Rights is a critical study of freedom and rights as moral, social and political ideas. It opens with a comprehensive lucid review of important theories. These are then used by the author as the basis for a theory of his own which sets freedom and rights in a new perspective. This theory is developed through a discussion of fundamental issues in ethics, and in social and political theory, which is at once provocative and illuminating. The book goes beyond the work in Anglo-American philosophy at the time by presenting not only an analysis of concepts but a philosophical synthesis which makes an original contribution to the study of human values.
