My roommate from college has asked for help in getting some feedback on a philosophy book he has written. He is looking for anyone with an interest in philosophy, history, law, politics/government or intellectual discussions. His book was written as a successor to Plato’s Republic, so if you ever read that book, you would likely enjoy this one. It is a Socratic discourse on the nature of superior government, justice, happiness and freedom. His main thesis (which comes from Plato’s Republic) is that freedom and justice are antithetical. A government may be free, or it may be just, but it cannot remain both for long. A free society will inevitably degenerate into injustice as the people lose their virtue. On the other hand, while totalitarian governments in the past have been grossly unjust, a virtuous government must veer in that direction in order to remain Just. I believe he may be a secret boglehead as he has written a multi-page exposition about the injustice of tipping at American restaurants.
He has arranged for the book to be given away as a free download through Amazon starting Friday 12/13 until Sunday 12/15 for anyone who might be interested in reading.
I read it myself and thought it funny, entertaining, and insightful. The book title is The Philosopher Kingdom. If anyone you know might be interested, please pass the information along.
