Liberalism isn't just a political philosophy but the basis of a truly meaningful life. That's the bold statement of philosopher Alexandre Lefebvre, author of the forthcoming book Liberalism As A Way of Life. Should individuals be free to pursue their own passions and interests in life? Does liberalism mean more than freedom of speech and small government? You might not identify as a liberal, but are we in fact all liberals at heart?
The Philosophy You Already Have — a Live Philosophy event was presented in Melbourne at the Sophia Club, from the creators of Aeon and Psyche magazines. Find out more here about the series.
