Simone de Beauvoir: Questions That Are Yet To Be Answered
Choosing freedom means learning to exist without seeking permission from the systems around us. Beauvoir lived her life like an ultimatum to society, proving that a genuine choice owes no translation, no apology, and no audience. It stands justified entirely by the freedom of the one who made it, leaving the bystanders to stumble on their own confusion.

Liberty Beyond Morality: Walter’s Block Defence of the Undefendable
How far are we willing to defend freedom when it protects choices we dislike? In Defending the Undefendable, Walter E. Block challenges some of our deepest moral beliefs by separating what is immoral from what should be illegal.

Ridurre un altro uomo in catene e disporre della sua vita e della sua morte come di un oggetto era, per il puritano John Brown, non un’istituzione umana ma l’operato del demonio, una diretta violazione della legge divina. Poteva dunque, in quanto diabolica, essere combattuta al di fuori di qualsiasi cornice della legge terrena.
