Description

This Life offers a profound basis for transforming our lives, arguing that our commitment to freedom and democracy should lead us beyond both religion and capitalism. Philosopher Martin Hägglund proposes a secular faith devoted to our finite life together, one that prioritises the treatment of others and the use of our time.

Hägglund engages with a wide range of thinkers, from Aristotle to Marx, and literary writers from Dante to Knausgaard, to demonstrate that spiritual questions of freedom are inseparable from economic and material conditions. He points the way to an emancipated life, one that is grounded in a deep understanding of our shared humanity.
