The Soul of the Marionette: A Short Enquiry into Human Freedom
Autor John Grayen Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 apr 2016
'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 and the occult to show that freedom is an illusion and that, like fairground puppets, humans dream of escaping the burden of choice altogether.

Recenzii
A
generous
and
energising
tumble
of
ideas...he
is
inventive
and
penetrating
Like Isaiah Berlin with a thing for sci-fi
We might believe that we are on a voyage towards a future of perfect freedom, but Gray is here to tell us that we are really only going round in circles, repeating ancient heresies, and retelling old myths in modern cant
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
A brain-twisting meditation on freedom...a brief, elliptical inquiry designed to raise more questions than anyone could answer
