£10.99
GRAY, JOHN
Product Details
ISBN: 9780241953907
Author: GRAY, JOHN
'Gray must be one of the best read of contemporary philosophers, trawling insouciantly through high-, middle- and low-brow literature with the sharp-eyed eclecticism of a magpie of genius.'
John Banville, Guardian
'Like Isaiah Berlin with a thing for sci-fi.'
Tibor Fischer, Spectator
Everyone thinks they want to be free – or do they?
John Gray’s thought-stirring new book on freedom draws together insights from:
- Gnosticism
- Science fiction
- Ancient sacrifice
- The occult
Through these lenses, Gray reveals a provocative idea: freedom is an illusion. Like fairground puppets, humans dream of escaping the burden of choice altogether.
