In Dismantling the 3rd Dimension, Antonia suggests that ancient trauma has solidified in our beings through thousands of years of human torment. This wounding is at the heart of our 3D state of separation - a density held within our own bodies that we often deny, avoid and repress, keeping it locked in place. To date, we have looked outward–to our lovers, our doctors, our spiritual leaders, and our families–to free us from our abandonment and rejection. But the myth of separation exists within our own bodies. As does our transcendence.

Humanly Possible is a wide-ranging, personal, thought-provoking and entertaining journey through the battle of ideas over some 700 years of history—mostly, but not exclusively, in Europe. Through a mixture of biography and philosophy, Bakewell seeks to understand what humanism is, why it has continued to flourish despite opposition from fanatics, mystics, tyrants and cultural pessimists of all kinds, and exactly why we should value and defend it in the 21st century.

Humanism is an expansive tradition of thought that places shared humanity, cultural vibrancy, and moral responsibility at the center of our lives. For centuries, this worldview has inspired people to make their choices by principles of freethinking, intellectual inquiry, fellow feeling, and optimism. In this sweeping new history, Sarah Bakewell, herself a lifelong humanist, illuminates the very personal, individual, and, well, human matter of humanism and takes listeners on a grand intellectual adventure.
