Free: Coming of Age at the End of History by

Lea Ypi

Reviews

"Lea Ypi is a pathbreaking philosopher who is also becoming one of the most important public thinkers of our time.... This extraordinary book is both personally moving and politically revolutionary. If we take its lessons to heart, it can help to set us free."

Martin Hägglund

Summary

With her elegant, intellectual, French-speaking grandmother; her radical-chic father; and her staunchly anti-socialist, Thatcherite mother to guide her through these disorienting times, Lea had a political education of the most colorful sort—here recounted with outstanding literary talent. Now one of the world’s most dynamic young political thinkers and a prominent leftist voice in the United Kingdom, Lea offers a fresh and invigorating perspective on the relation between the personal and the political, between values and identity, posing urgent questions about the cost of freedom.

“To a man born without conscience, a soul-stricken man must seem ridiculous. To a criminal, honesty is foolish. You must not forget that a monster is only a variation, and that to a monster the norm is monstrous.”
