Support Blast, a new independent media: https://www.blast-info.fr/soutenir Professor of Philosophy at the Université de Moncton - Shippagan Campus - in the province of New Brunswick, Canada's great west, Alain Deneault returns to France for the release of his latest book "Faire que" (Lux éditeur). Two hundred pages of brain juice starting with an edifying observation: "Faced with the unheard of, we cannot compare the situation to anything. Like the "ambiance" and the "atmosphere", which designate both a collective state of mind and, respectively, the environment and gaseous fluids surrounding the planet, the term "climate" names a social emotion experienced on an intimate level, at the same time as a meteorological moment. It is a hostile climate. As it stands, it is unheard of, corresponds to nothing, cannot be told. It escapes us, haunts us, troubles us, frightens us. We only talk about him but we don't know how anymore. It's heating up." Deneault writes in the first pages of his book. The World is incredible. Global warming is incredible. And our future is just as much. Evoking in turn the endless energy bill that we will have to pay, the semantic holdups that from sustainable development to dubious political ecology, prevent us from seeing and speaking reality, the philosopher who has just left his Canadian island lands at Blast to deliver his anguish to us over a good third of his book and his interview, before reflecting on the question: should we ask ourselves what we must do to get out of the political impasse or launch ourselves very quickly into the "Make that..." posed on the cover of his book: So what to do? "Change the question," writes Deneault, who draws among others on the work of Derrida and Nancy to leave the stationary and contemplative position that it presupposes and consider its fundamental contradiction because asking "what to do?" » is already done, it is already mutated. So the philosopher came to try to think with us about solutions. And he manages to convince us. Which was far from obvious. Have you ever heard of bio-regions? No?
