On Freedom

In "On Freedom", Snyder argues that in an era marked by relativism and fear, freedom stands as the ultimate value—an "absolute of absolutes." Drawing from the works of philosophers, political dissidents, and his own experiences growing up during a time of American exceptionalism, Snyder presents a compelling narrative that challenges readers to reconsider their understanding of freedom.

He posits that true freedom is not merely the absence of constraints but the ability to thrive, take risks for the future we choose, and work collaboratively. This perspective underscores freedom as the foundational value that enables all other rights and liberties.
