Since the 2000s, the philosopher and essayist has regularly appeared in the media.
Invited on the set of "Buzz TV" this Tuesday, he evokes the periods of "

“
There are times when you feel that you are less wanted, but these are times that you have to live fully.
What is interesting is the bitterness it arouses.
