‘In these hard times for liberty, On Freedom makes the case that freedom, once explored and understood, is the way forward’ PRESIDENT ZELENSKY 'Visionary ... Buy or borrow this book, read it, take it to heart' OBSERVER A brilliant exploration of freedom – what it is, how it’s been misunderstood, and why it’s our only chance for survival from the acclaimed, bestselling author of On Tyranny 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. 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. Drawing on the work of philosophers and political dissidents, conversations with contemporary thinkers and his own experiences, Snyder identifies the practices and attitudes that will allow us to design a world in which we and future generations can flourish. Intimate yet ambitious, this book forges a new consensus rooted in a politics of abundance, generosity and grace. It is a thrilling intellectual journey and a tour de force of political philosophy. On Tyranny inspired millions around the world to fight for freedom; On Freedom helps us see exactly what we’re fighting for. ‘Everyone who cares about freedom should read this book’ ANNE APPLEBAUM ‘Passionate, intimate, compelling – a clarion call’ PHILIPPE SANDS
