Erstmals findet in deutscher Sprache eine ausführliche Auseinandersetzung mit dem Denken und Schreiben Öcalans und seinem politischen Einfluss statt. In diesem besonderen Band sind 18 Autor*innen, Aktivist*innen, Philosoph*innen und Wissenschaftler*innen vertreten, deren Ideen im Verhältnis zu Öcalans Schriften untersucht und debattiert werden. Das breite Spektrum namhafter AutorInnen beleuchtet verschiedene Aspekte der Theorie und Praxis des einflussreichen kurdischen Denkers, der sich seit mehr als zwanzig Jahren in Isolationshaft auf der türkischen Gefängnisinsel Imralı befindet.
Äußerst facettenreich werden in Das freie Leben aufbauen die Ideen diskutiert, die zur Revolution in Rojava führten: Vom demokratischen Konföderalismus bis zur Frauenrevolution, von der Geschichtsphilosophie bis zur Krise des Kapitalismus, von Religion bis Marxismus und Anarchismus wird das freiheitliche gesellschaftliche Denken mit der Philosophie Öcalans in Beziehung gesetzt, das sich radikal gegen Kapitalismus, Patriarchat und den Staat stellt.
Die Beiträge für diesen Sammelband stammen aus der Feder so namhafter internationaler Autor*innen wie John Holloway, David Graeber, Immanuel Wallerstein, Antonio Negri, Peter Lamborn Wilson (Hakim Bey), Norman Paech, Muriel Gonzáles Athenas, Andrej Grubacic, Raúl Zibechi, Fabian Scheidler, Mechthild Exo u.a.

Work Description
From Socrates to Antonio Gramsci, imprisoned philosophers have marked the history of thought and changed how we view power and politics. From his solitary jail cell, Abdullah Öcalan has penned daringly innovative works that give profuse evidence of his position as one of the most significant thinkers of our day. His prison writings have mobilized tens of thousands of people and inspired a revolution in the making in Rojava, northern Syria, while also penetrating the insular walls of academia and triggering debate and reflection among countless scholars.
So how do you engage in a meaningful dialogue with Abdullah Öcalan when he has been held in total isolation since April 2015? You compile a book of essays written by a globally diverse cast of the most imaginative luminaries of our time, send it to Öcalan’s jailers, and hope that they deliver it to him.
Featured in this extraordinary volume are over a dozen writers, activists, dreamers, and scholars whose ideas have been investigated in Öcalan’s own writings. Now these same people have the unique opportunity to enter into a dialogue with his ideas. Building Free Life is a rich and wholly original exploration of the most critical issues facing humanity today. In the broad sweep of this one-of-a-kind dialogue, the contributors explore topics ranging from democratic confederalism to women’s revolution, from the philosophy of history to the crisis of the capitalist system, from religion to Marxism and anarchism, all in an effort to better understand the liberatory social forms that are boldly confronting capitalism and the state.
There can be no boundaries or restrictions for the development of thought. Thus, in the midst of different realities—from closed prisons to open-air prisons—the human mind will find a way to seek the truth. Building Free Life stands as a monument of radical thought, a testament of resilience, and a searchlight illuminating the impulse for freedom.
