Isaiah Berlin on freedom

 


"Freedom for the wolves often meant death to the sheep."

- Isaiah Berlin

Just a thought when you look at how universities are handling the protests on college campuses. The respect for all should be paramount at a university. The same thinking can be applied to other issues both on the right and left. 

While we want to maximize freedom, there are levels where the freedom of some places a tyranny on others. We would like society norms of respect to control excesses but that is not always the case.
