About the Book

What is the importance and meaning of freedom to self-fulfillment? How does our environment-- our family, the government, and the media-- mix with our biology to shape and taint our behavior, and therefore impact our ability to make choices?
"Why Freedom" draws from philosophy and the sciences to answer these questions in light of man´s search for meaning. Thoroughly researched, "Why Freedom" synthesizes Existentialism, Pragmatism, Evolutionary and Social Psychology, Biology, Physics, and Economics into an interdisciplinary paradigm of human intent. Unveiling man´s abilities and freedoms to seek self-fulfillment, this is a book you wish you´d read at 21!


About the Author

Jason Junge was educated as an engineer, economist, and business strategist at M.I.T. and Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Business. Although Jason’s career as a management consultant has been devoted to helping Fortune 500 companies with business issues, his avocational passion has always been modern philosophy. In this, his first book, Jason has constructed a new philosophy of freedom by applying the pragmatic paradigms of 21st century economics and science to the abstract world of 19th and 20th century philosophy.
