THIS LIFE - MARTIN HÄGGLUND KARTONIERT (TB)

If this life is all there is  what should we do with it? Join Swedish philosopher Martin
Hägglund on an original inquiry into the deepest questions of existence  beginning with a
radical declaration: 'What I do and what I love can matter to me only because I understand
myself as mortal.'  Through revelatory engagements with some of history's greatest philosophers
including Aristotle  St Augustine  Nietzsche  Hegel and Marx  Hägglund attacks our two great
deceivers  religion and capitalism. Only by stripping away their subtle illusions can we
discover the true value of our earthly freedom.  Existence is revealed as a collective project:
everything is at stake in what we do together  and no victory can survive us. 'The light of
bliss - even when it floods your life - is always attended by the shadow of loss.' By
illuminating this truth  This Life forges an existential philosophy fit for a darkening
century.
