The Importance of Non-Domination in Freedom
The podcast episode explores the concept of non-domination as a key component of freedom. It argues that the traditional idea of freedom as non-interference is incomplete and that true freedom requires protection against domination from others. The episode highlights the need for laws and institutions that safeguard individuals from arbitrary power, whether from the government, corporations, or private entities. These protections aim to create a society where people can interact without fear or deference, promoting equality and enabling individuals to exercise their freedoms fully.
