The Selfless Constitution: Experimentalism and Flourishing as Foundations of South Africa’s Basic Law
Item type: Books • Author: Stu WoolmanDo you possess ‘freedom’—the will to do as you choose—as an individual, as a participant in social affairs or as a citizen in the political realm? Well, no.

Drop the simplistic folk-psychology of unfettered freedom, whilst holding on to intentionality, and you might be inclined to adopt a set of social practices and political arrangements that enhance the chances that you and your compatriots will flourish.
