Part One surveys the history of dialectics from the ancient Greeks through the Austrian school of economics. Part Two investigates in detail the work of Murray Rothbard as a leading modern libertarian, in whose thought Sciabarra finds both dialectical and nondialectical elements. Ultimately, Sciabarra aims for a dialectical-libertarian synthesis, highlighting the need (not sufficiently recognized in liberalism) to think of the \"totality\" of interconnections in a dynamic system as the way to ensure human freedom while avoiding \"totalitarianism\" (such as resulted from Marxism).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Matthew Sciabarra\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0271020490\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780271020495\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penn State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.05w x 1.03d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2001 pg. 1867","brand":"Chris Matthew Sciabarra","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48241024336127,"sku":"9780271020495","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_584acd33-27cd-4207-a5ea-13d220a66c70.jpg?v=1772652423","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/total-freedom-chris-matthew-sciabarra-9780271020495","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
