Prof. Snyder is brilliant. To Ukrainians who might be watching, I pray for your country and admire your incredible courage in the face of terror. I grew up in the Home of the Brave but Ukraine shows us what that really means. ❤
Awesome, the Atlantic cares about philosophy now. Pointing out that the west has been overly influenced by a negative conception of freedom is great, and it goes a long way toward understanding where modernity goes off the rails. But trying to play the philosophy game without doing any of the work of laying some sort of foundation in metaphysics is an empty exercise in rhetoric. Replacing “freedom from…” with “freedom to…” does have positive benefits of forcing us to engage our imaginative muscles, but in Snyder’s framing still leaves a giant blank that can be filled in by propagandists of the right and the left.
People that lecture about freedom who've never known any form of suppression are problematic to me for many reason. It's like you're trying to sell me my unalienable right to personhood under the guise of some created myth.
The person who studies history and writes about Eastern Europe knows what suppression is. The person who actively participates in a very tangible way to achieve positive freedom in the US and in Europe, can explain and teach us all about what freedom is
ok Binder offer your lecture and views and experience on & about freedom; I grew up during Jim Crow America so for me much of what Snyder speaks of rings thoughtful, & true.
@@dianamoon3614 That's unique to the American experience and of course why you'd support Ukraine just like Mr. Snyder. Thinking for yourself isn't an option.

Thank you for your humanity and stance
Thank you for your precious work. Watching from Ukraine.
Prof. Snyder is the best of America and he continues to educate our country about Ukraine. He cares deeply about your country. We stand with you. ❤
I love Timothy Snyder. I discovered his books recently . Love On Tyranny. And I love his shirt😊
The country is also debating "freedom for". Who gets the freedom and who does not?

Thank you. Watching from Alaska.

I love your show. I don't like the intro- woman/refirderator- not the positioning I would choose. How about a library. this segment is great!!
Snyder not Sullivan. Must read more on dementia!

Great discussion, but remember Janis Joplin's words, "freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose".

He is a true friend to the Banderites and making bank off a war that has slaughtered an entire generation of Ukranian men. What a great discussion.

Putin created that war and Putin is responsible. By spreading his propaganda you make yourself complicit
Pravy Sektor have how many seats in the Ukrainian Rada right now?
