Individualism and Social Responsibility

“In the 1993 Lectures on Moral Values in a Free Society, the importance of individual freedom and the danger of self-centeredness are repeatedly stressed, as are the importance of social responsibility and the danger of excessive government control. By exposing injustice and inequality, social conscience keeps before our eyes the ideal of a society based on brotherhood that transforms economic and political relations into fellowship and binds individuals into the human family.” –from the introduction by Andrew R.
