Freedom and Reality 

Nanpantan Hall (UK) and Online
Friday 23 to Thursday 29 August 2024

Freedom is a universal aspiration and yet remains a distant dream for many.  Their reality can be lack of freedom and prosperity, little engagement with community, a less-than-healthy environment, and little prospect of any meaningful change. How can reality become the freedom to pursue the full potential of a human life?

This conference aims to reformulate the foundations for a society that offers such a reality for anyone who seeks it. Come and join with others on this quest.

Economics:

Real economic freedom is obscured by prevailing economic theories and concepts. Human talents, energies, and intelligence are distracted from achieving life’s potential.

Presentations and workshops will consider how the realities of life for many can be transformed for the better. Examples will be explored and related to the principles of living naturally.

Economics participants at Nanpantan must have completed two Economics courses at the School, and those online at least one.

Law:

Freedom under law is barely understood, and our natural duties are being obscured by a mass of regulations, statutes, and miscarriages of justice.

Presentations and workshops will consider how the ability of man-made laws to support freedom depend on their coherence with the universal laws that underlie true Justice. Love of Truth lies within us all, as we continue to explore and study what it means to live lawfully, justly and happily for the sake of all.

Law participants at Nanpantan should be attending a current School course.

All:

Arrive at Nanpantan Hall (Nanpantan Rd, Nanpantan, Loughborough LE11 3YF UK) on Friday from 11am; a buffet lunch will be available. The Conference begins with a meeting at 2 pm and ends by 3pm on Thursday 29th.

We look forward to enjoying the company of those at Nanpantan and online.  See full Programme and Arrangements here.
