Offended freedom – aspects of libertarian authoritarianism. With Carolin Amlinger and Oliver Nachtwey
One keynote achievement of liberalism was the defence of individual freedom against state power. Totalitarianism is an impressive testimony to the danger posed by state power. But the line between individual freedom and egoism is very fine indeed: motorway speeders and frequent flyers alike bear witness to this proximity and raise the question of whether collective freedom – the freedom of all – is not far more important than the freedom of the individual. Most recently, the corona crisis in particular pitted the two concepts of freedom against each other.
In their work Gekränkte Freiheit, nominated for the Leipzig Book Prize, Oliver Nachtwey and Carolin Amlinger take a stand for collective freedom and criticise, among others, staunch opponents of the pandemic control measures as supporters of a "libertarian authoritarianism". Are they right? Mod.: Svenja Flaßpöhler
