- Abolishing Freedom is a single-authored, 63,000-word monograph with five chapters. It is based on three years of research on the mostly neglected question why the most prominent philosophers of freedom were all also strict defenders of the concept of divine predestination and fate. The book is approximately equivalent to six journal articles. It involved not only a rewriting of an established history, but familiarization with a number of diverse philosophical fields (from ethics to history, from religion to epistemology and ontology) and with the historical context of different, idiosyncratic and demanding sources.
