Racism, extremism, anti-democratic sentiment â our increasingly polarized world is dominated by a type of thinking that doubts othersâ positions but never its own.
In a powerful challenge to fundamentalism in all its forms, Carolin Emcke, one of Germanyâs leading intellectuals, argues that we can only preserve individual freedom and protect peopleâs rights by cherishing and celebrating diversity. If we want to safeguard democracy, we must have the courage to challenge hatred and the will to fight for and defend plurality in our societies. Emcke rises to the challenge that identitarian dogmas and populist narratives pose, exposing the way in which they simplify and distort our perception of the world.
Against Hate is an impassioned call to fight intolerance and defend liberal ideals. It will be of great interest to anyone concerned about the darkening politics of our time and searching for ways forward.
