He is the author of numerous works including "The Advent of Democracy" and "The Disenchantment of the World". He has also just published "The Democratic Knot: The Origins of the Neoliberal Crisis" by Gallimard. In this interview by Carla Costantini for Élucid, he returns to the essential points of his work: an analysis of human history centered on the dialectical confrontation between religion and politics. Our modern era is marked by an exit from religion, and the consecration of individual autonomy at the source of many evils. The exacerbated individualism of our societies (encouraged by neoliberalism) deeply damages our democracies, which are no longer able to maintain the collective bond, necessary for the happiness of all. ⚠️ The comment area must remain a respectful space for open and constructive debate.
