an episode of talk on the radio: "Conversation at
Chicago" |
| 00:42:40 |
RL asks Prof. Gibson Winter (GW) about the main
point of the book. GW answers that we created a high
technology culture, people are given the status by
belonging to it. To be free is first to belong, to
be counted in, to have a guaranteed income, or some
kind of assurance to belong to that society. This is
a starting point. |
| 00:43:35 |
RL asks, so there are two different senses of
freedom. The old one is lack of freedom. |
| 00:44:54 |
An unidentified female voice says "I don't see
young people today see freedom as a goal. In the
process of being free, we should be careful we don't
take on another yoke under the name of
freedom." |
| 00:45:27 |
GW says he sees two levels of the problems:
organizational level of freedom, and cultural
meaning of freedom in the society. |
| 00:46:43 |
All guest speakers continue to discuss about
organizational level of freedom. GW says there are
two aspects of what we need to be free. We need to
belong, and we need to have a voice. |
| 00:48:24 |
An unidentified man asks why is there change from
the old sense of freedom to the new freedom. He
speaks of John Adams as an example to explain the
idea. GW and guests continue to discuss the issues
of freedom. |

The discussion ends abruptly at the end of the

organized. As a result all files from this tape were from one side

need to be flipped to play back the other side. Both files contain
