This Life

This Life is a profound and accessible book that offers a new secular vision of how we can lead our lives. With a focus on existential questions and pressing social issues, Martin Hägglund argues that our commitment to freedom and democracy should lead us beyond both religion and capitalism. He develops new existential and political principles while transforming our understanding of spiritual life, showing why we should pursue a novel form of democratic socialism. This Life gives us new access to our past--for the sake of a different future.
