At a time when the term “freedom” is loosely—and dangerously—bandied about, this work makes the important distinction between positive and negative freedom, and examines the various “zones” of positive freedom (art, religion, academia, politics, speech, etc.)
“Paul Gordon has provided a wonderfully broad and deep exploration of the ‘highest sense’ of freedom. Ranging from Plato to Thelma and Louise, via Nietzsche and Isaiah Berlin, Gordon creates an engaging web of cross-associations revealing freedom, in its most positive sense, as a potential condition of transcendence, a ‘field’ of creative energy” —Stephen Barker, PhD, UCI Claire Trevor School of the Arts, USA
