La révolution de lamour (French Edition)

Commitments of people have moved over time from the abstract and metaphysical, such as nature or God, to the intimately personal, a change Ferry endorses. As a former Minister of Education, Ferry is at his best in discussing his claim that people have become child-centered as it relates to education. His discussion becomes textured, drawing on elements of the prior philosophical stages he identified to combat certain excesses of child-centeredness.

In a final section, Ferry discusses how some of the best modern art and literature rise past the prevailing philosophy of relativism and deconstruction to support what he sees as a love-centered humanism. This discussion tends to become arid, but I was pleased to learn that Ferry shares my admiration for the American novelist Philip Roth. Ferry says that in Roth, "we're no longer in the first humanism of reason and law, nor in pure deconstruction, but in what is a much wider and deeper approach to human being.

It offers challenging claims that might help readers understand themselves differently than they did before reading the book. I was pleased to have the opportunity to get to know Ferry's work through the Amazon Vine program. If you have nothing to say, just shut up.

I really would like to believe Luc Ferry wrote this for the money, but maybe it's something else Maybe Luc Ferry is better at teaching the philosophy of the great thinkers than creating his own schtick. Another excellent work by one of the most inspiring philosophers living today. Minister Ferry he was at one time Minister of education in France makes the case that we have entered a new age — one that defines what it means to live well the concept of love.

The book is compact less than pages , articulate and thought provoking. This second voice in the book is his friend and coll Another excellent work by one of the most inspiring philosophers living today. This second voice in the book is his friend and collaborator Claude Capelier. Of particular interest was his descriptions of the various philosophical periods through which thinking humans have evolved.

These were periods, or as Ferry describes them — principals - in different ways gave meaning to life; the cosmological principal, the theological principal, the humanist principal and the principal of deconstruction. Ferry argues that a new and better principal of life exists and that is one of love. Love motivates us to sacrifice for others, it motivates us to create through public policy a better world. While I rate the book highly and strongly recommend it I do have a few criticisms. One particular dissatisfaction was his discussion of public education.

Too often this section of the book went down the road of how to best parent children and it too often failed to make a compelling case for specifically how love changes our approach to educating children. It felt like he was using the opportunity of the book to vent frustrations incurred during his time of public service. I am, I am sure, a closet optimist. I believe Ferry is right that love can reorder our human society. It can be the basis for how we live as individuals and how we treat others, not just neighbors but those whose faces we never see half a world-away.
