Description

This reissued edition of Freedom and Equality, originally published in 1986, presents a compelling defence of democratic socialism centred on two fundamental principles: freedom and equality. Keith Dixon argues persuasively that freedom, understood as absence of constraint, must occupy a central place in leftist political thought. Unlike contemporary works defending conservatism or Marxist approaches, this Routledge Revivals volume offers a distinctive and unapologetic case for why democratic socialism provides the most coherent framework for protecting both individual liberty and social equality. Dixon contends that only a stark conception of freedom-freedom from constraint rather than freedom to achieve particular outcomes-can properly support the defence of civil rights and democratic values. This philosophical exploration challenges conventional political discourse and restores essential ideas to contemporary debate about governance, justice, and the foundations of democratic society.

Key Features

Keith Dixon's Freedom and Equality defends democratic socialism through rigorous philosophical argument rather than ideological assertion or dogma.

This Routledge Revivals reissue restores the 1986 original text, making a historically significant work on political philosophy accessible to modern readers.

The book presents freedom as absence of constraint, a definition Dixon argues is essential for defending both individual rights and collective equality.

Dixon's analysis directly counters recent defences of conservatism and Marxism, offering an alternative vision of how democratic socialism addresses fundamental political values.

The work combines passionate advocacy with systematic reasoning, providing both polemic and careful philosophical justification for its core claims about liberty and social justice.
