Human Beings and Freedom: An Interdisciplinary Perspective

Human Beings and Freedom: An Interdisciplinary Perspective focuses on some contemporary issues relating to freedom, equality, identity and resistance from various perspectives, such as psychological, social, political, and metaphysical. In doing so it addresses topics such as the nature of human beings, political freedom, the relationship between freedom and equality, sex, gender and race, humour, and the notion of critique.
Some twenty professors have contributed to this volume, which brings together thinkers from a range of social science and humanities disciplines and incorporates both Eastern and Western thought.
Each of the main articles is followed by two responses from thinkers outside the author's discipline. Hence it gives rise to varied and interesting interdisciplinary discourses and critiques.
This book will be useful to undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as to professionals in the fields of humanities and social sciences.
