Nowadays, we enjoy security, good health and a large amount of freedom in the Western world like never before throughout history. And yet at the same time we are living in a society that seems to believe only in the power of strength, and where celebrity, success and wealth are increasingly myths to be reached at all cost. Anyone who prioritises virtue and justice is even mocked and called a do-gooder. By re-discovering our roots, that reach deep into Classical culture and Christian tradition, Vito Mancuso sets out to prove that Good is actually the most precious direction freedom can take; he gives us a new perspective on the meaning of our lives, at the mercy of the turbulent winds of existence. Because it is only those who no longer try to win and prevail but instead devote themselves to truth are able to let their lives truly blossom and therefore vibrate in harmony with the world.
