One feels in the library as in the presence of a great capital that silently produces unpredictable interest.

Book of the week Radikaler Universalismus

Every week we present a book from our collection that we find particularly interesting, exciting, instructive or otherwise particularly worth reading. This week a book that has won the Leipzig Book Prize for European Understanding.

Omri Boehm: "Radical Universalism. Beyond Identity" (2022, Propyläen Verlag)
 
Can universalism still be saved today?

Yes, but we have to go back to its origins: only when we truly understand the humanist appeal of the biblical prophets and Immanuel Kant can we fight injustice without compromise - in the name of radical universalism, not identity.

A bold proposal that, in its fearlessness, offers a way out of the deadlock.
