“Liberty is not merely about what one is permitted to do, but about the character one chooses to embody within a free society. Liberty is not sustainable without a populace capable of widespread self-governance, cultivated through an internalized moral framework. Understanding Adam Smith’s The Theory of Moral Sentiments is essential for preserving liberty because it helps us see the fundamental connection between individual character, collective societal culture, and the environment in which humanity can truly flourish.” (08/27/25)
