Description
Too many of us look at freedom as the absence of state power: we think were free if we can do and say as we please. But true freedom isnt so much freedom from, as freedom to the freedom to thrive, to take risks for futures we choose by working together. Freedom is the value that makes all other values possible.
Drawing on the work of philosophers and political dissidents, conversations with contemporary thinkers and his own experiences, Snyder identifies the practices and attitudes that will allow us to design a world in which we and future generations can flourish. Intimate yet ambitious, this book forges a new consensus rooted in a politics of abundance, generosity and grace. It is a thrilling intellectual journey and a tour de force of political philosophy.
On Tyranny inspired millions around the world to fight for freedom; On Freedom helps us see exactly what were fighting for.
