Too many of us look at freedom as the absence of state power: we think we’re free if we can do and say as we please. But true freedom isn’t 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 government 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.On Tyranny inspired millions around the world to fight for freedom; On Freedom helps us see exactly what we’re fighting for. It is a thrilling intellectual journey and a tour de force of political philosophy.‘In these hard times for liberty, On Freedom makes the case that freedom, once explored and understood, is the way forward’ PRESIDENT ZELENSKY*New York Times bestseller list, 6 Oct 24*.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 240mmItem Length: 156mmItem Width: 40mmItem Weight: 750gAuthor: Timothy SnyderGenre: HistoryTopic: Society & Culture, Social Sciences, Philosophy & Spirituality, Law & PoliticsType: Civil Liberties & Political ActivismRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
