Description
This collection of essays presents a sceptical philosophy rooted in the concept of finitude. Odo Marquard's work explores the idea that individual freedom can only arise from a pluralism of convictions and tendencies, rather than a single, unified reality.
The author argues that human beings are finite and therefore acquire their liberty through the multiple realities that define them, without any one determining their individuality. This philosophical scepticism, born out of Marquard's response to the horrors of post-war Europe, also serves as a defence against totalitarian ideologies.
