The Sociology of Freedom

The Sociology of Freedom is the fascinating third volume of a five-volume work titled the manifesto of the democratic civilisation. The general aim of the two earlier volumes was to clarify what power and capitalist modernity entailed. Here Ocalan presents his stunningly original these of the Democratic Civilisation, based on his criticism of the Capitalist Modernity. Ambitions in scope and encyclopaedic in execution, The Sociology of Freedom is a one-of-a-kind exploration that reveals the remarkable range of one of the Left's most original thinkers with topics such as existence and freedom, nature, and philosophy, anarchism and ecology. Ocalan goes back to the origins of human culture to present a penetrating reinterpretation of the basic problems facing the twenty-first century and an examination of their solutions. Ocalan convincingly argues that industrialism, capitalism, and the nation-state cannot be conquered within the confines of a socialist context.
