Defending the liberal tradition in history, science, and philosophy.

Wage Peace? Foster Freedom

But little do or can the best of us:
That little is achieved through liberty. ----Robert Browning. Why l am a [classical] Liberal

I have written a lot on the principles of freedom, including its psychological, social, and political aspects, and how these aspects function at the interpersonal, social, and international levels. For each aspect and level I have tried to sum up my analysis in a First, Second, Third, and Fourth Master Principle. The question is now what final principle do these previous ones imply? Whether in reference to individuals and societies, to families, organizations, and nations, or to intergroup and international relations, the one Principle that distills waging peace is this.

PROMOTE FREEDOM
Why? I give the answer in three corollaries.
