Since then, cooperation has remained central to cultures around the globe, enabling individuals to formulate and pursue life plans focused on collaboration rather than mere survival.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_x_elementToProof\"\u003eThis book challenges prevailing conceptions of freedom by developing a new theory rooted in our cooperative nature: \u003cem\u003efreedom as social cooperation\u003c\/em\u003e (FSC). This approach posits freedom beyond the absence of interference by others (negative freedom), a particular mental or material condition (positive freedom), or a form of independence (republican freedom). Freedom is a cooperative practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_x_elementToProof\"\u003eThe book presents FSC as an innovative conception of freedom and expands it into a theory of liberal democracy that accounts for its political and economic institutions. In an era marked by political confrontation and seemingly irreconcilable differences, FSC offers a timely framework for enriching liberal democracy—reminding us that true freedom is achieved by working together.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2026-01-28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783032122162\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-032-12217-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 269\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Marcial Pons","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44698933821580,"sku":"9783032122162","price":107.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032122162.jpg?v=1773315654","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783032122162","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
