Teleonomy seeks to demonstrate the essential relationship binding liberty and tradition. This thesis runs entirely contrary to the prevailing dogmas of the age. At present, the loudest defenders of "liberty" are wholly libertine, while the defenders of "tradition", however many now remain, understand the might of the state as the sole means to their own ends. In its three parts, Teleonomy does away with the misconceptions underlying both of th...
