The Morality of Freedom

*The Morality of Freedom* by Joseph Raz explores how moral values are shaped by our pursuit of personal autonomy and choices. Raz argues that true freedom involves having genuine options and the ability to act according to one’s reasons and values. He emphasizes that respecting individual freedom requires ensuring people can make meaningful decisions without unnecessary constraints. The book examines how moral principles support and limit freedom, advocating for a balance where autonomy is protected, but social responsibility and fairness are also upheld. Ultimately, it posits that morality and freedom are deeply interconnected, each shaping a just and ethical society.
