Freedom is not just an absence of evil but a presence of good. The moment you believe freedom is given, it is gone. There is no freedom without solidarity; freedom for you means freedom for me.**
From the acclaimed, bestselling author of On Tyranny comes a brilliant exploration of freedom what it is, how it's been misunderstood, and why it's our only chance for survival.
Freedom is our great commitment, but we have lost sight of what it means leading us into crisis. 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.
