Description

Challenges modern philosophy's portrayal of inactivity, arguing that the case against an indifference to work and effort is flawed, and that idle aimlessness may instead allow for the highest form of freedom. Explores how some of the most influential modern philosophers drew a direct connection between making the most of our humanity and avoiding laziness
