This course focusses on philosophical questions about the relations between the ideal of freedom, legal regulation, and moral requirement. In the Western liberal traditional, liberty is held up as one of the central values of political life. But there are numerous occasions on which it seems important, for one reason or another, to restrict people’s freedom. Can we square these two convictions? Why is liberty so important? What, anyway, do we mean by liberty? Is it ever morally permissible to restrict people’s freedom? In this course, we will address question like these by analysing several closely connected philosophical problems surrounding the relations between law, freedom, and morality.
