It can be argued that one simple idea—the concept of freedom—has been the driving force of Western civilization and may be the most influential intellectual force the world has ever known.
But what is freedom, exactly?
Join historian and classical scholar J. Rufus Fears as he tells freedom's dramatic story from ancient Greece to our own day, exploring a concept so close to us we may never have considered it with the thoroughness it deserves.
Delve Into the Meaning of Human Freedom
What did freedom mean to Abraham Lincoln—or to Robert E. Lee? To Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, or Martin Luther King?
What does it mean to us today?
Indeed, to consider freedom is to ask questions. Many questions.
* What does it take to be free, to have and to hold liberty?
* What moral questions did freedom raise for our forebears?
* What questions does it raise for us?
* What role do the liberal arts and the world of the intellect play in the life of a free society or a free individual?
* What does democracy have to do with freedom?
* Can a democratic politician be a statesman?
* How should we understand the relationship among freedom, religion, and morality?
* Is there a dichotomy between public and private morality in a free society?
You ponder these questions and more in this moving and provocative course, brought to you by a teacher whose 15 awards for outstanding teaching include three-time recognition as University of Oklahoma Professor of the Year. download link:
