Episode description
This ebook argues for the legitimacy of secession in the United States, citing historical precedents and philosophical arguments. The author contends that deeply divided moral universes among Americans necessitate a peaceful separation rather than continued conflict. He contrasts the Hobbesian model of a unified, indivisible state with the Althusian model of a federation of independent societies. The text examines historical examples of secessionist movements and explores practical considerations, including debt division and the role of state conventions. Ultimately, it proposes secession as a humane solution to intractable political and social divisions.
