Description
Never has philosophy generated so much interest or curiosity. And for good reason: it is an art of thinking, but above all an art of living. What represents a successful life? How can we live well when we know that are to die? Philosophy has always striven to answer these questions. In a direct and impassioned discussion with Claude Capelier, Luc Ferry explains how we have progressed from the harmony with the cosmos of the Greek philosophers to the harmony with God of the Judeo-Christian age. Then man, liberated by the reason and freedom of the age of Enlightenment, saw the triumph of harmony among humanity before the breakdown caused by notions of progress and metaphysics. The themes covered are vast: fear, enemy of wisdom the notion of the infinite death freedom pleasure family. This magnificent reflection concludes with a message of hope: humanity is on the road towards a “new metaphysical principle” which will yield transcendence and love and has already manifested itself in the importance placed on affectivity and the family. Here Luc Ferry provides us with the first published history of philosophy since that of Jean-François Revel, which appeared 20 years ago, a clear, and enlightening overview.
