Reading and Talk with Daniel Schreiber: Love! A Call to Action

Daniel Schreiber reads from his new book and discusses how love, as a political force, can push back against the widespread climate of hatred.

Powerlessness has become the defining political feeling of our time. A rhetoric of hatred and contempt for others has taken over public discourse, and violence is once again shaping how we live together - no wonder so many people have given up on political engagement and retreated into private life. Schreiber offers a radical counter-proposal: reclaiming love as a political force.

Drawing on political, philosophical, and social-historical examples, he argues that this idea has driven the greatest political revolutions in history. The book is a call for active resistance and collective action - and a guide to finding your own political voice again.
