Freedom's Progress?

Gerard Casey explores the evolution of freedom, arguing it's an ongoing, imperfect shift from tribalism to individualism, susceptible to relapses. He examines how the allure of the collective, seen in 20th-century movements like Fascism and Bolshevism, continues to challenge individual liberty. This extensive work analyzes political thought from ancient philosophers to modern theorists, questioning the inherent human desire for freedom versus security.
