Dr. John MacMurray was a distinguised Scot, Professor of Moral Philosophy in the University of Edinburgh. Presented here are a series of lectures he presented in January of 1949 at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. Contents: "Foreword: Principal, R. C. Wallace; Preface; I. The Relativity of Freedom; II. Contemporary Conflicts; III. Freedom in Fellowship: 1. Co-operation and Community. 2. The Nature of Fellowship." The three lectures here published here were delivered under the auspices of the Chancellor Dunning Trust. The first two lectures are printed here as delivered and the third has been considerably enlarged without changing its theme or position. The lecture series' duty was to promote understanding and appreciation of the supreme importance of the dignity, freedom and responsibility of the individual person in human society. There surely can be no more urgent task in our time, nor one more difficult to perform adequately. Individuals whose minds are dazzled by the splendours of a scientific technology and whose pulses echo the rhythm of the machines are not apt to grasp or appreciate the things that belong to peace. Dignity, freedom and responsibility are inseparably bound together. Without freedom we have no dignity. Without responsibility, no freedom. The threat to to our freedom comes not from without, but from within; from a lowering of our sense of human dignity and a growing effort to escape responsibility. It comes even more from an intoxication with power and an unmeasured faith in organization which have their place. Yet, power and over organization can not be reconciled with freedom and easily rob us of our responsibility and dignity. The world of the spirit has its own lawsof causality, which cannot be broken with impunity. To learn and obey these laws of the spirit is our business. If we neglect this, we shall lose both our dignity and freedom, and we shall have no just cause to complain. MacMurray seeks here to be a sign-post towards freedom. 80 pages. Insured post.
