This Life: Secular Faith and Spiritual Freedom
Description
Winner of the René Wellek Prize Named a Best Book of the Year by The Guardian,
The Millions, and The Sydney Morning Herald This Life offers a profoundly
inspiring basis for transforming our lives, demonstrating that our commitment
to freedom and democracy should lead us beyond both religion and capitalism.
Philosopher Martin Hägglund argues that we need to cultivate not a religious
faith in eternity but a secular faith devoted to our finite life together. He
shows that all spiritual questions of freedom are inseparable from economic
and material conditions: what matters is how we treat one another in this life
and what we do with our time. Engaging with great philosophers from Aristotle
to Hegel and Marx, literary writers from Dante to Proust and Knausgaard,
political economists from Mill to Keynes and Hayek, and religious thinkers
from Augustine to Kierkegaard and Martin Luther King, Jr., Hägglund points the
way to an emancipated life. Read more
