Description
In my book, which consists of intertwined philosophical stories on the theme of freedom, I examine the dilemmas of freedom by a dialogue with venerable thinkers such as Marx, Rousseau, Plato, Hobbes, Foucault, Hegel, Levinas, Butler, Kant and Derrida. My book is ideal for making an introduction to the philosophy of freedom through literature, as well as filling a niche in the genre of philosophical novels, which are also possible to read for the sheer literary pleasure. However, this is not a philosophy text book; it is pure fiction that displays people struggling with unfreedom. My novel also embodies the idea of death and love by unifying the traces of these five stories in the form of a river novel, to the limitation of our freedom and indeed to the importance of freedom within these limits; our freedom begins with love, which is the hope of reaching out to others, and ends with death, the ultimate limit. All the protagonists in the book are actually my masks and my Kafkaesque style hides this idea only to reveal it in the end. The book also touches upon many side themes, such as the body, and the law, in sci-fi settings. In today’s society, where I believe that freedom, domination and totalitarian society contains many debates about our current life, these discussions must be held by protecting the philosophical tradition and my novel has a crucial value for today by making philosophy accessible to everyone. This book has been the culmination of my belief that philosophy is for everyone and is actually literature.
