1. David Graeber: The Power of the Imagination
I wish I had more time to read Graeber while he was alive. I feel like I’m going to come to appreciate him more and more as I get older.
There’s a really beautiful way that Graeber wrote, which was intellectual and deep and conceptual but also simple and emotional and child-like. I’ve been reflecting a bit on what gives me hope in the face of many bad things and it is mostly the things I was taught as a child: creativity, being friends with people, playtime.
Graeber’s commitment to the power of the imagination was a driving force behind his work and one of the reasons why it resonated with so many people. It was his sense of wonder and intimate knowledge of how the imagination operates that helped shape his insights on topics as diverse as the nature of democracy, the origins of civilisation, and the meaning of value.
The second kind of imagination was “immanent imagination”: the capacity to imagine, and to bring about, new social and political ways of being. Graeber asserted that it is this imagination that constitutes the human ability to be political: to decide collectively what we want to do with our lives.
