101: Liberty vs. Security

from Philosophy Talk Starters · host Philosophy Talk Starters

More at http://philosophytalk.org/shows/liberty-vs-security. Edward Gibbon and James Madison both noted how liberties in Rome were among the victims of its growing empire. Is our society facing a similar problem, given what some public figures have said about choosing between how much liberty and how much security we want? Or is this a false choice put forward by those in power? John and Ken take a philosophical lens to the relationship between liberty and security with Stephen Holmes from the NYU Law School.
