Description
This translation of the book “Escape from Freedom” comes at a time when the number of speakers on freedom and democracy has exceeded those of any previous era. It comes at a time when the psychological influence of the media is intense. This influence is felt across various channels, websites, newspapers, and magazines, creating specific impressions of the fixed meanings of the problem of freedom and its solutions: liberalism, fundamentalism, imperialist propaganda, and others. Since the perspective in all media outlets, despite their abundance, is a one-sided value perspective, even among many advocates of political pluralism, rather than one that recognizes the psychological, social, economic, and cultural interconnections, the book “Escape from Freedom,” with its analyses and investigations based on an understanding of these interconnections, comes at the right time.
This book presents the important distinction between the negative and positive aspects of freedom. The term “freedom,” used by various languages and cultures, often overlooks the positive aspect of freedom, and is used in one of two senses: liberation or negative freedom, that is, freedom from external obstacles. But internal deterrents are often far more powerful than actual external pressures.
