Description
Luc Ferry explores how love has become a central value in modern societies, transforming our lives and shaping many aspects of our social and collective life.
This quiet rise of love as the central value has created a new principle of meaning and a new definition of the good life, requiring a different kind of philosophical thinking. A new humanism emerges, one based on solidarity and sympathy, rather than reason and rights.
Ferry argues that this new humanism prioritizes preparing and ensuring a future for those we love most - our future generations - over traditional ideals such as nationalisms and revolutions.
