Freedom from the Known

by Jiddu Krishnamurti

A masterpiece from Jiddu Krishnamurti on freedom. The author says about the chains in which the present man live, about his fears of the known and fear of the unknown. He employs a witty sarcasm at the way in which people are ready to accept the ideological tyranny of religious institutions when they are not ready to accept any kind of political dictatorship. Freedom from all the shackles that draw us backward from being a universal citizen - that is the core topic discussed in this book.
