  • Summary

  • Timothy Snyder discusses his new book that explores the concept of freedom from a philosophical and political perspective. He contrasts negative freedom, often understood as freedom from constraints, with positive freedom, which emphasizes the importance of community, solidarity, and the conditions necessary for individuals to thrive. Snyder argues that true freedom requires a supportive environment and institutions that foster individual growth. He critiques the American understanding of freedom as overly individualistic and highlights the need for factuality and truth in political discourse. The conversation also delves into the dangers of viewing freedom as inevitable and the importance of imagination in envisioning a freer society.
