Publisher's Synopsis
""Liberty and Democracy and Other Essays in War-Time"" is a collection of essays written by Hartley Burr Alexander, an American philosopher and educator, during World War I. The book explores the themes of liberty, democracy, and individualism in the context of the war and its impact on society. Alexander argues that the war has exposed the flaws in traditional notions of freedom and democracy, and calls for a new understanding of these concepts that takes into account the changing realities of the modern world. The essays touch on a wide range of topics, from the role of education in shaping democratic values to the importance of individual conscience in times of war. Throughout the book, Alexander emphasizes the need for a more nuanced and thoughtful approach to politics and society, one that values both individual freedom and collective responsibility. Written with clarity and insight, ""Liberty and Democracy and Other Essays in War-Time"" is a thought-provoking exploration of some of the most pressing issues of its time, and remains relevant to contemporary debates about democracy, freedom, and social justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
