Surrounded by politics

Conatus

When politics meets wisdom, the result can be completely unexpected. This is what happens in the book "Surrounded by Politics" by the pseudonym Conatus and now published by the publishing house Siljans Måsar. In the book, wisdom and politics meet each other in the form of a dialogue between two people. The Metoo movement, the refugee situation, world peace and other issues of a current nature are interspersed with more existential themes in a conversation that turns out to have an unexpected resolution.

A sage and a politician

A secluded room in the corridors of power. Elections are coming up soon. A politician needs new ideas and approaches to regain the voters' trust. Unusually, the politician has invited a wise person for a cup of tea, which the wise person likes.

They discuss current politics, which turns into an increasingly in-depth and expanded dialogue with questions and answers about the human being in politics and society. The politician – as well as the reader – receives surprising answers that increase their understanding of politics and society.

But what influences politics, and who really is the politician?

Here a spiritually wise person with insight into the non-dualistic world speaks with a dualistic ordinary politician in a rolling conversation. There are many connections to both Christian and Eastern traditions around opposites such as wisdom/ignorance, true/false, superficial and deep personal dimensions. Much to think about ..."
