Nous avons changé de monde
To mark the publication of his most recent book, Nous avons changé de monde Albin Michel, Michel Maffesoli is joined in debate by Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet and Vincent Petitet, author and researcher at the CNRS (French National Centre for Scientific Research).
One civilisation is coming to a close.
And like every end of an era, it is triggering « fear and trembling ».
It should be noted that such a change is sometimes experienced as a paroxysm of sound and fury: today’s world is not short of instances of the sort!
But it can also be observed in everyday life, where the values inherent in modernity are becoming increasingly irrelevant.
Which in turn raises issues willfully denied or shrugged off by the intelligentsia.
How, then, to adjust to the world as it is and the changes now taking place?
