3:59Now PlayingIn this segment, Dr. James Orr explores what he terms 'the great paradox': the notion that perceiving freedom as an ultimate goal can ironically lead to its opposite. Orr contends that constraints are vital in sustaining systems that enable the enjoyment of perceived freedoms. He extends this concept across various areas, including interpersonal relationships, traffic management, and political ideology.
Dr. Orr holds a PhD and MPhil in Philosophy of Religion from the University of Cambridge and a BA in Classics from Oxford. Before entering academia, he worked for several years in corporate law at Freshfields and Sullivan & Cromwell. In addition to writing several articles, he recently appeared on the DailyWire’s Exodus series with Dr. Jordan Peterson.
