The Risk of Freedom presents an in-depth analysis of the philosophy
of Jan Patocka, one of the most influential Central European
thinkers of the twentieth century, examining both the
phenomenological and ethical-political aspects of his work. In
particular, Francesco Tava takes an original approach to the
problem of freedom, which represents a recurring theme in Patocka's
work, both in his early and later writings. Freedom is conceived of
as a difficult and dangerous experience. In his deep analysis of
this particular problem, Tava identifies the authentic ethical
content of Patocka's work and clarifies its connections with
phenomenology, history of philosophy, politics and dissidence. The
Risk of Freedom retraces Patocka's philosophical journey and
elucidates its more problematic and less evident traits, such as
his original ethical conception, his political ideals and his
direct commitment as a dissident.
