In conventional political philosophy, law is understood as consciously created rules that are a necessary mechanism for regulating the excesses of the free market. Although coercive in nature, law is seen as a necessary defense against anarchy. But is the situation that simple?

When does liberty matter? It is often thought that personal liberty is always valuable and that it has a unique intrinsic value. In The Limits of Liberty, philosopher Sarah Conly argues that it is much less valuable than traditionally believed. Conly posits that liberties that bring good things have value, but liberties that bring bad consequences have no value. This means that in many cases where liberty has been valued, we are mistaken. Restrictions on certain liberties are more acceptable than commonly thought.

Robert Musil (1880 - 1942) schrieb Weltliteratur (Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften), aber auch scharfsinnige Essays. Vor dem "Wiener Werkbund" hielt er am 11.3. und am 17.3.37 (wegen begeisterter Nachfragen) einen Vortrag über die Dummheit.
