Conly posits that liberty only has value for its consequences, so liberties that bring good things have value, but liberties that bring bad consequences have no value. This means that in many cases where liberty has been valued, we are mistaken. Restrictions on certain liberties are more acceptable than commonly thought. We specifically discuss free speech, medical ethics, and environmental ethics.","meta_description":"You can support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/chenphilosophy Conly is Professor of Philosophy Emerita at Bowdoin College.
