Who is this brilliant interviewer? I never miss a chance to listen to Timothy and it's just such a pleasure to be a part of this surprising discussion ❤😊
I've already listened to the first few hours of the audio book of _On Freedom,_ and it is great, just what this historical moment is crying out for.
At a time when some have already given up hope, and others only hope that things will stop getting worse so quickly, here we have a clear view of *why* we should be hopeful, and *what* it is that we really hope for.
So glad I was “free” to stumble across this interview. Snyder’s insight on freedom resonates with and complements his Yale colleague Martin Haaglund’s book. This Life: Secular Faith and Spiritual Freedom.
Yesterday, I had a discussion with my brother about these ideas. It took me almost an hour to find the right way to explain him the difference between reason and racionality ("the formalisable part of human thinking"), but with that, he easily understood and agreed with the idea of "freedom as unpredictability", which he found too strange before.
Brilliant interview with a truly brilliant man. Thank you for the conversation, looking forward to reading the book.
What a joy to listen to this discussion.
🎉🎉🎉 Since the Interview with Volodymyr Yermolenko I was waiting for this book to come out 🎉🎉🎉 This year Christmas came earlier (in your face Maduro, its still September). On another hand... today is 17th of September (1939)... funny date for early Christmas, still pure joy that soon I'm going to get a copy in my hands, so happy!!!
Correct pronunciation of Václav is "Vaatslav" , the "c" makes the same sound as "zz" when you say pizza. (He was my president, I'm proud to say!)

DR SNYDER IS SO GREAT - WE NEED TO SUPPORT UKRAINE- LET UKRAINE WIN
There is much enlightened thinking to be taken from this book, some of it new and provocative but I had one nit-picking aside I took issue with, this idea that history is not a weight that burdens us. The problem here is that you may see many roads that led us to where we are if you're an historian but most aren’t. Most of us see history as a through-line from where we came from both personally and culturally. To us, therefore,, history offers us one of two narratives - a glory to be continued or recaptured or else a wrong that is a score to be settled. Either way this is indeed a weighty burden.
To paraphrase an old saying, the original part of the Book is not new, but the new part is not original...
🙏✨Merci!✨🙏
