The Sons of Liberty: An International Wisdom Society A Tract Book Essay By Anthony J. Fejfar, B.A., J.D., Esq., Coif © Copyright 2007 by Anthony J. Fejfar I propose that those of us who are sympathetic to much of what I have been writing, should band together and form an International Wisdom Society: The Sons of Liberty. The primary purpose of the Sons of Liberty is to ensure that a liberal, Liberty based society is present throughout the world.
In achieving this goal of Liberty, all Sons
of Liberty should be dedicated to two purposes: The Liberal Scale of Values and the Ethical Matrix. The Liberal Scale of Values represents a morality based upon Liberty and the 4 Liberty based values of: 1. Individual Autonomy 2. Individual Rational Self Interest 3. Individual Self Actualization (actualizing one’s meaningful projects) 4. Individual Self Transcendence (compassion for oneself and others)
The Ethical Matrix requires that one who is a Son of Liberty make his or her ethical decisions on the Natural Law Ethical Principles of: Reciprocity (treat another as you would wish to be treated in similar circumstances, Utility (Maximization of Value based on the Liberal Scale of Values stated above), Proportionality (law and equality are based on the idea of proportionality with proportionality symbolized by an equilateral
triangle divided down the center forming two smaller right triangles which mirror each other), and Equity (equity favors the one in need, equity favors the one with the greatest need, equity says that for each Son of Liberty, to each according to one’s need, from each according to one’s ability). The Sons of Liberty support Social Responsibility of Business where business decisions are made using the Ethical Matrix. The Sons of Liberty support a Constitutional Democracy with a legislative, judicial, and executive branches of government. The Sons of Liberty support the judicial review of all legislative and executive branch actions using the Constitution, requiring all law to be reasonable. Finally, the Sons of Liberty should support the use and teaching of Metaphysics. Neothomism, as a basis for Liberty should be taught in grade school through graduate school. Natural Law, based on Classical Philosophy, is the basis for Natural Rights and Liberty.
