Book
Towards The Light
A.C. Grayling
Bloomsbury Publishing
Philosophy, Politics and Current Affairs
The often-violent conflicts of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries were sparked by the pursuit of freedom of thought. In time, this drive led to the English Civil War and then the revolutions in America and France that swept away monarchies for more representative forms of government and making possible the abolition of slavery, the enfranchisement of women, and the idea of universal human rights and freedoms. Grayling interweaves these struggles with the stories of heroes, including Martin Luther, Mary Wollstonecraft and Rosa Parks, who stood for these precious rights. A timely book in an age when governments under pressure find it necessary to restrict rights in the name of freedom.
