[update]: Episode 1, Reading Club 2023
🕑 Added 2023-01-30 16:37:26 +0000 UTC[UPDATE: see bold sections below]
As previously announced, the 2023 Reading Club will focus on three principal works. We will start the year by doing an in-depth reading of Martin Hagglund's This Life: Secular Faith and Spiritual Freedom (the UK edition's subtitle is "Why mortality makes us free")
The book advances key arguments about freedom and secularism. Hägglund argues that our lives matter because they are finite. This condition implies a shared responsibility as social individuals to own the time of our life. As a consequence, we are not and cannot be free under the way our society is currently organised, under this economic order.
Episode 1 will cover:
Introduction
Chapter 1: sections 2, 3, 4
Chapter 2: sections 2, 4, 6
It will be recorded on 24 February, so please send in any questions you'd like us to discuss by then.
Very much looking forward to discussing this book and to responding to your questions and points.
If you would like to meet up with fellow listeners in your area and have not yet, drop us a message with your email address and we will try to put you in touch with others.
