The Roads to Freedom (in French, Les chemins de la liberté) is a trilogy of novels by Jean-Paul Sartre.
The three novels L'âge de raison (The Age of Reason), Le sursis (generally translated as The Reprieve but which could cover a number of semantic fields from 'deferment' to 'amnesty'), and La mort dans l'âme (mysteriously translated as Iron in the Soul), revolve around Mathieu, a Socialist teacher, and a group of his friends.
The novels were written largely in response to the events of World War II and the Nazi occupation of France, and express certain significant shifts in Sartre´s philosophical position towards 'engagement' (commitment) in both life and literature, finding their resolution in the extended essay L'existentialisme c'est un humanisme (Existentialism is a Form of Humanism), which was criticized from both sides of the existentialist fence.
Legislators in Richmond and Annapolis should consider selling existing roads in the metropolitan area to private owners, and leave future road projects to be negotiated between roadbuilders and area landowners.
At present, the use of roads is effectively “socialized,” with everyone paying virtually the same amount for the roads despite how often or when he drives.
Road users shouldn’t be forced to subsidize rail travel, and passenger-rail advocates shouldn’t have to pay for roads to be built.
