Humans need freedom to flourish.

Human flourishing is ultimately a self-directed process involving the exercise of practical wisdom. It occurs as mature individuals accept responsibility for managing their own lives and for seeking opportunities to obtain mutual benefits from voluntary interactions with others.

Welcome!

Welcome to Freedom and Flourishing. While you are here, why not take a look around.
Information about my book, "Freedom, Progress, and Human Flourishing" is available in the featured post below.

About me

My name is Winton Bates.
I have been blogging on this site since 2008. My mission has evolved over time. It was originally to explore the links between freedom and human flourishing. It is now to promote greater understanding of the implications of the nature of human flourishing, as a self-directed process in which individuals become good humans and take pleasure in doing so.
My latest book, "Freedom, Progress, and Human Flourishing", was published in May 2021. Please see the featured post below.

More information about me is available here.
