Freedom to Stay

Eva von Redecker is a philosopher and non-fiction writer based in rural Brandenburg in Germany.

"Eva von Redecker brings her profound philosophical gaze and her delicate pen to one of our most important problems. How did modern western freedom produce so much earthly and social destruction? And how might we be free otherwise ‒ free to dwell, not only flee, and free across time, not only in the moment? A splendid book with which to think and build an urgently needed new politics."Wendy Brown, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton"As the world and everything we know about it melt into a brutal cacophony of change, Eva von Redecker, with her flawless philosophical elegance and inherently poetic vision, points out the heart of the matter for humanity: our right to stay and our need to remain human. Her book radically changes the idea of freedom while answering our innermost needs as humans today."Ece Temelkuran, writer"Philosophers have been wrestling for centuries with what it means to be free, whether we can be free at all, and why freedom would be valuable. Eva's book is an amazing and original contribution to that tradition."Annelien De Dijn, Utrecht University"Eva's book is a valuable contribution for all human rights defenders in academia and practice to counter the infamous discussions on migration we are all facing now."Wolfgang Kaleck, General Secretary, European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights
