Disobedience

Publisher Albin Michel
Philosopy is disobedience. This book is a call to critical democracy and ethical resistance.

There's so much wrong with the world these days that disobedience should be an urgent, self-evident duty for one and all. For almost a century now, our technical, bureaucratic, and rational modernity has been creating a new monstrosity: passive docility. What is truly shocking today is the extent to which we continue to accept the unacceptable. In this new essay, Frédéric Gros makes it his priority to explore the roots of our political obedience: social conformity, economic subjection, blind respect for authority, constitutional consensus. Only by studying various styles of obedience are we able to invent and induce new forms of civil disobedience, ethical refusal, and civic dissidence.
