| The Science of Liberty: Democracy, Reason, and the Laws of Nature |
Description:
In The Science of Liberty, Professor Ferris makes a passionate case for science as the inspiration behind the rise of liberalism and democracy. He argues that just as the scientific revolution rescued billions from poverty, the Enlightenment values it inspired has swelled the number of persons living in free and democratic societies. How did science inspire the spread of liberal democracy and transform the world?
