Philosophy Wire: France, burqa and the freedom of not being "free"...


Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2011-04-10]: French police arrested some people who demonstrated against the ban of islamic dressing code - burqa included - which takes effect from tommorow Monday in the country [source: BBC News]. The battle of a state which fought for the freedom of expression against the...expression of Islamists is quite interesting... Can you impose freedom on a person who does not feel enslaved? Can you impose anything on anyone after all?
