Nordic Ideology: A Metamodern Guide to Politics, Book Two (Metamodern Guides 2)

In Nordic Ideology, the anticipated sequel to The Listening Society, the great philosopher Hanzi Freinacht strikes again from his refuge in the Alpsnow with a yet bolder to write social and political theory as a page-turner. This book can be read independently of the first one and it outlines a path to a metamodern society, emerging from the Nordic countriesone that emerges from, but ultimately cancels and outcompetes modern society as we know it, while saving the world-system from collapse. How can this be achieved? Here, things get real. Not only do you get an overview of how society developswhat is higher freedom, deeper equality, a more intricate order of self-organization?you get an actual plan-of-action for how to transform all of society and the people in it; indeed, even a strategy for how to organize and take charge of political development. Loved and despised, Hanzi leaves few readers untouched. No issue is too controversial, no source of knowledge taboo; while committed to deep democracy and freedom, Hanzi does not shy away from learning from the totalitarian ideologies of the 20th century. And indeed, the power of his vision, and the six new forms of metamodern politics introduced in the book, compels readers to actto actualize the vision, or to stop the metamodernists at any cost. Serious meets fun, as sincerity meets irony, as politics meets poetry in this magisterial work of a unique and dangerous rebel scholar.
