What Are Freedoms For?
John H. Garvey
In this work John Garvey argues that we should understand freedom as a right to act, not a right to choose; and furthermore, we should view freedom as a right to engage in actions that are good and valuable. This may seem obvious, but it inverts a central principle of liberalism--the idea that the right is prior to the good.
