Liberty, Equality, Fraternity (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162942667)

Liberty, Equality, Fraternity is a book written by James Fitzjames Stephen, a British lawyer and philosopher. The book is a critique of the French Revolution and its ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity. Stephen argues that these ideals, while noble in theory, are impractical and impossible to achieve in practice. He believes that the pursuit of these ideals has led to chaos, violence, and the suppression of individual rights. Stephen also argues that the French Revolution was a failure and that the British system of government, with its emphasis on gradual reform and respect for tradition, is superior. The book is an important work of political philosophy and a critique of radicalism and revolution. It continues to be studied and debated by scholars and students of politics and history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
