Responsibility in “The Free State of Florida”: A Moderated Discussion
December 12 @ 6:00 pm
Moderator: Chuck Kupchella
How have concepts of freedom and responsibility evolved over time and culturally in different places? Responsibility is an antonym for the word, freedom. Since antonym means “opposite or reverse,” does this not mean emphasizing freedom would do the opposite to responsibility? What’s the difference between freedoms and rights? Why is it that rights are rights, but freedoms aren’t free? What does human biology have to say about human freedom and social responsibility? Religion? The Constitution? Come dine with us and be ready to weigh in on a discussion of how these questions bear on the issues of the day across the freedom-responsibility spectrum.
