THE ESSENTIAL FREEDOM
The essential freedom is the freedom to modify opinions and policies, by speech and study and writing, states the report of an American commission appointed to study the organisation of peace. More important than any programme, this is the method inseparable from intelligent iudgment. Its justification lies in the necessity to test any thinking, in the search for truth, since all our discovery comes by experiment and proof and all our enlightenment is evolutionary and nrogressive. This is the adventure, inescapably, in the life of mankind, and this is its dignity in the world we want.
