Rituals of Freedom: Libertarian Themes in Early Confucianism
How much do we know about Confucius? What type of world were the Taoists and early Confucians living in? Were early Confucians pro free-market and pro individualism as we understand the terms today?
Roderick T. Long joins us this week for a discussion on the thought of the early Confucians, who were precursors of modern libertarians.
