The revolutionary projects that have shaken humanity over the last 250 years have sought to free us from the inequalities and exclusions that condemn most people to small lives. They sought to increase our share of the divine attribute of transcendence: the capacity of each of us to be greater than our circumstances. This power to transform and transcend, however, seems fanciful if reality is what modern science and much of modern philosophy describe: dominated by invariant laws and inescapable determinisms. We would have to claim some miraculous exception to the normal functioning of nature, within and without us. In this work, Mangabeira dispenses with miracles. In what kind of world and for what kind of thinking—he asks—are time real, history open, and the new possible? In what kind of world and for what kind of thinking does it make sense to prefer struggle to serenity in the conduct of life? The product of this effort of thought is a philosophy that generalizes, deepens, reconstructs, and grounds the imaginative, rebellious, and transformative radicalism that has turned the world upside down in recent centuries. The message is universal, but the spirit that animates it is Brazilian: the dream of seeing greatness—a shared greatness—marry tenderness. “The brief and widely accessible *The Awakened Man* […] takes a distinctive position on one of the great questions of political philosophy and develops its implications for the political difficulties of our time.” – Bruce Ackerman, professor at Yale University “One of the only living philosophers whose thought has the dimension of the great philosophers of the past.” – Times Higher Education Supplement","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159841095932,"sku":"9788520014035","price":79.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/a5c5552c7f713c490cca02bb3bc29b46_75cf8e2a-7734-4ea1-a0e3-7f3fb88b93f5.jpg?v=1778728332"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/roberto-mangabeira-unger.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
