Professor James Orr: “a society that prizes freedom above all else is a society that will, in time, descend into tyranny.”
That is from Dr. Orr’s second essay, “A Conservative Critique of Liberalism,” in this Reason Papers three-round debate with Dr. Stephen Hicks. Orr advocates and defends Conservatism; Hicks does the same for Liberalism. Links here:
