Luc Ferry: "For the health pass, philosophically!"

2021-08-04T18:34:54.710Z


CHRONICLE - This pass, validated by a democratic Parliament, is the one and only way, not only to emancipate oneself from a narcissistic individualism that undermines civility, but also to regain our freedoms.


I read, among a host of other articles with philosophical pretension directed against the sanitary past, that of a certain Blanchet-Gravel published in

Valeurs contemporaine

. He begins with these few lines that I quote because they are typical of anti-ax and anti-pass discourse with intellectual pretension (let us recall that 92% of those who support anti-pass are anti-ax):

“'A civilization which denies death by comes to deny life ”wrote the poet and essayist Octavio Paz. With the advent of the new health order, this is exactly what is unfolding before our eyes. We are entering a sanitized world, hypnotized by the zero risk ideal where the prevention of all conceivable perils seems to have become the ultimate project. ”

There follows the inevitable litany of arguments hostile to this health past which would deprive us of our fundamental freedoms, mark a break in our civilization, take a step towards dictatorship, etc., etc.
