“The English Tradition of Liberty.” Our last lecture compared the different outcomes for personal liberty between the French and American revolutions. This month’s lecture juxtaposes the Napoleon- ic idea of unlimited state power with the English tradition of liberty based on liberalism and individual free- dom, a mindset which we Americans inherited. Our professor continues to look at great leaders and great minds as key factors in defining concepts of freedom. Join us to learn more about the English tradition that guided our own ideals of freedom.
