Prof Discusses Freedom
“Freedom is a controversial sub
ject because the concepts on which
human freedom rest result from
such controversy,” Dr. Henry W.
Johnstone, instructor of philos
ophy, said in discussing “Contro
versy and Freedom” yesterday
afternoon.
Speaking at the Philosophy
Seminar on Man’s Nature and
Freedom, Dr. Johnstone used
ideas presented by Kant and Shil
ler to illustrate his views. “All of
these philosophical concepts are
the offspring of some idisyn
cracy,” he added, quoting Shiller.
“However,” he said, “these phil
osophical concepts are no more
abstrusive than a game of base
ball.”

Dr. Johnstone took issue with
those who claim that phiosophical
arguments are no more than a
battle of meaningless words by
citing a difference between the
philosopher and the scientist.
Whereas in arguments the scien
tist can use available data to set
tle a dispute, the philosophers
cannot reconcile opinions because
every philosophy is colored by
personal opinion which cannot be
accurately translated to another,
he said.
“Controversy is one of the chan
nels through which one can se
cure power,” he concluded, but
that power must be bi-lateral.
He pointed out that a critic who
is immune to criticism cannot be
effective.
