Subject: [Xmca-l] Anniversary for Sarkharov's essay
Hello Xmcars and venerable others,
I saw this in the NYT, thought it would be the stuff of good discussion in the hear and know:
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/20/opinion/andrei-sakharov-essay-soviet-union.html
Additionally, here is the PDF of the original essay, "Thoughts on Progress, Peaceful Co-existence and Intellectual Freedom" appearing in the NYT on July 22, 1968. You will have to enlarge it to about 250% to be able to read it.
By chance, who here on the list remembers the splash this essay made? Anyone?
I especially enjoy this sentence: "Freedom of thought is the only guarantee of the feasibility of a scientific democratic approach to politics, economy, and culture."
Kind regards, as always,
Annalisa
