“Abolishing Freedom is not only the very acme of today’s philosophy, but much more-it is a book for everyone who is tired of all the ideological babble about freedom of choice.”-Slavoj Žižek, author of Absolute Recoil: Towards a New Foundation of Dialectical Materialism
“Appropriating it as a natural right, a possession that can be taken away, the sign of the subject’s sovereignty, liberalism has given freedom a bad name. Yet how to think without acknowledging the fact of freedom? In his delightful book, Ruda shows us the way. Reducing the liberal edifice to rubble, he rescues a freedom that is in no way ad libitum.”-Joan Copjec, author of Imagine There’s No Woman: Ethics and Sublimation
“This is an utterly captivating, smart, provocative book-compelling in its argument, fascinating in its detail, sobering in its implications. Absolutely exhilarating.”-Rebecca Comay, author of Mourning Sickness: Hegel and the French Revolution
