Practising freedom: Designing, debating and disemprisoning

Abstract

Many practically minded researchers who have developed systems approaches to "problem solving" claim that their models and methods are capable of securing freedom for people. Since each approach is different there is a tendency to want to establish which one is right and which ones are wrong. We will discover that they are all partially right and partially wrong at the same time. We need them all but we have to establish which role each can play. This paper works that out. It also unifies systems approaches to "problem solving", in this case using human freedom as the common thread.
