El món, el nostre món

The conflict between freedom and happiness must be resolved in favor of freedom, says Ágnes Heller, and she defends it with determination in the lessons of this volume. Everyday life and tradition, art and music, ethics and politics, modernity and postmodernity, humor and spirituality, metaphysics and ideology, emotions and imagination, inequalities and... laws are just some of the topics he deals with here but which have also been the subject of his philosophical reflection over the years. The broad spectrum of his interests and the way he approached them illustrate what his personal attitude was toward the world, and how he lived it. From an explicit ideological left, Heller warns of the enormous power of biopolitics, the political use of bodies, and how power feeds fear and makes it the fundamental tool for sacrificing freedom. His vision is unquestionably topical.
