Philosophical Foundation of Civil Liberties

"Philosophical Foundation of Civil Liberties" offers a profound exploration of the intellectual heritage and future of human freedom. The book traces the evolution of civil liberties from their roots in classical Greek philosophy and Roman law, through their development in medieval Christian and Islamic thought, to their Enlightenment articulation and the challenges of the modern era. It argues that traditional philosophical frameworks are no longer sufficient to confront 21st-century threats such as digital surveillance, economic globalization, and ecological crises. In response, it proposes a new, practical synthetic framework-integrating protective, enabling, and adjudicative dimensions-to safeguard liberty. This framework provides a robust blueprint for building resilient institutions and laws that uphold human dignity and ensure civil liberties endure for generations to come.
