Description
Roberto Mangabeira Unger's latest work offers a radical reimagining of philosophy, exploring our transcendence and its relation to finitude. He questions how we can live so that we die only once, breathe new life into the revolutionary movement, and make sense of ourselves without claiming human exceptionalism. Unger's central theme is our capacity for self-fashioning and non-conformity, as well as our need for human connection and responsibility. He redefines traditional parts of philosophy, including ontology, epistemology, ethics, and politics, to create a program of deep freedom that democratizes the market economy and energizes democratic politics. This book is a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition, one that challenges readers to rethink their understanding of philosophy and its role in shaping our world.
