Description
This Life Why Mortality Makes Us Free by Martin Hägglund is a profound and original exploration of faith in the finite life we lead here on earth. The philosopher argues that a secular faith in the value of living in time can give our lives greater depth of meaning, rather than relying on eternal life or divine intervention.
Hägglund critiques traditional religious ideals, proposing instead a positive alternative understanding of the beliefs and values that motivate us to live meaningful lives. He engages with diverse thinkers and writers, including some of the most influential figures in philosophy and literature.
