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, and protect ourselves from government interference. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on the work of philosophers and political dissidents, conversations with contemporary thinkers and his own experiences, Snyder identifies the practices and attitudes - the habits of mind - that will allow us to design a government in which we and future generations can flourish. We come to appreciate the importance of traditions but also the role of institutions. Intimate yet ambitious, this book helps forge a new consensus rooted in a politics of abundance, generosity and grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSnyder's book On Tyranny has 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Timothy Snyder","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":47763631833331,"sku":"9781529929287","price":26.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/files\/9781529929287.jpg?v=1759604676","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/on-freedom-timothy-snyder-9781529929287","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
