The challenge of meaning

The Challenge of Meaning: For a New Poetics of Man, by Sofiane Meziani, Collection Etudes

“Human beings have probably never been so enslaved as in modern times. No dictatorship has been as oppressive and pernicious as that of profit. Prisoner of his autonomy, modern man is in search of limits, benchmarks, to breathe new life into his existence, and thus free himself from the totalitarianism of "social acceleration" that characterizes our time. The current crisis reflects, in all its dimensions, only a void of meaning carrying within it the seeds of a new upsurge. Although timeless, the truths recalled here nevertheless need to be reformulated in the light of the present. More than an incentive to rethink our role and the terms of our involvement in the city, this book is an invitation to freedom. It's about getting out of our daily cages to flap our wings and dance freely in the Azur."
