	Liberal Education \| Summer 2003 \| Intellectual Freedom for Intellectual Devlopment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Intellectual development, the development of the intellect, is the emergence of increasingly sophisticated forms or levels of cognition, the progress of understanding, reasoning, and rationality.
		Fundamentally, however, intellectual development is an ongoing process of reflection, coordination, and social interaction that begins in early childhood and continues, at least in some cases, long into adulthood.
		Given the centrality of intellectual freedom for development and education, we might define academic freedom as intellectual freedom in educational and research contexts (Moshman 2002).

	P - Intellectual Freedom Quotes
		Now that eighteen-year-olds have the right to vote, it is obvious that they must be allowed the freedom to form their political views on the basis of uncensored speech before they turn eighteen, so that their minds are not a blank when they first exercise the franchise.
		And since an eighteen-year-old's right to vote is a right personal to him rather than a right to be exercised on his behalf by his parents, the right of parents to enlist the aid of the state to shield their children from ideas of which the parents disapprove cannot be plenary either.
		It is the mark of our freedom that we can ignore any tradition and refuse any loyalty.
