Tuesday Philosophy

Josiah Warren (1798-1874) was an American anarchist, in the good sense. Here's a quote from his book Equitable Commerce from 1855.

"To require conformity in the appreciation of sentiments
or the interpretation of language, or uniformity of
thought, feeling, or action, is a fundamental error
in human legislation-- a madness which would be
only equaled by requiring all to possess the same
countenance, the same voice, or the same nature."
