A beautiful testimony
Cuckoo revoilou me! I have a bit much, abandoned my blog lately. IF, the days are only 24 hours. But here I am again, and rested. I want to tell you about last favorite literary-philosophical. You may have recently discovered the TV show "great library" on France 5. Alexander Jollien, Swiss philosopher, was a very special journey of life (he lived for 17 years in an institution for people with physical disabilities). Already author of "In Praise of weakness" (Cerf, 1999), "the man's job" (Seville, 2002) and "self-construction" (Seuil, 2006), Alexander publishes Jollien here an amazing diary. His thinking, oscillating between joy and detachment, is relevant without being heavy. "The man who wrote these lines is the prey of doubt. As he struggles to free his own way, he would like the philosophers want to offer him their protection. Rather qu'empiler quotations from great philosophers, Alexandre recounts his daily Jollien with her lots of frustrations and joys. The result is of great wealth. This book, ever soothing, and reveals an extraordinary life force.
"The philosopher naked Alexander Jollien (Threshold Editions) 15 euros.
