Freedom Habit: Study

To discover why Study is a Freedom Habit, read on the “WHY?” tab below. Check out the other tabs for suggestions — mostly readings — for study on a topic. Some of the resources are thick books that read slowly. Some are movies with historical value. Most of the rest are somewhere in between. Lists are updated frequently.

Pioneer sociologist Alexis de Tocqueville studied American society and government intently in the 1830s and wrote a book every American should study, Democracy in America. He wrote:

The federal system rests on a complicated theory which, in application, demands that the governed should use the lights of their reason every day. . . . When one examines the Constitution of the United States, . . . it is frightening to see how much diverse knowledge and discernment it assumes on the part of the governed. . . . When the general theory is understood, there remain difficulties of application. (Tr. George Lawrence. Garden City, NY: Anchor-Doubleday, 1969.)

Studying isn’t everything, but it’s important. It’s a Freedom Habit.

Here are some excellent things to Study. I recommend reading in one of the essential books at least weekly. For variety, listen to some of the music list, or take in a movie or a play.
