When an enigmatic recluse commits a gruesome double murder, the public is shocked and horrified. The circumstances, though surprising, seem simple, utterly black-and-white. There is more to the crime, however, than meets the eye. In their efforts to incriminate or exonerate the accused hermit, the people of the court explore his life's story, from his mysterious childhood to his unspeakable act of violence. What they find there defies all expectations. Equal parts Hegelian dialectic, Joycean fiction, eldritch horror, and fantasy epic, "They Only Struggle" leads the reader through an arcane examination of morality, justice, intersectionality, and the human condition. Prepare to reconsider right and wrong, guilt and innocence; prepare to wonder what it means to be a good person, to wonder what it means to be at all.

This innovative and interdisciplinary book challenges many 21st century assumptions about progress, building on the work of authors such as Kant, Popper, and Hayek to argue for a complete reconfiguration of the concept.

Compares Karl Popper and Friedrich Hayek systematically and critically assessing their contribution to the political philosophy of the Open Society.
