Finkielkraut begins this book by making amends: the deconstructionism of his youth was a great mistake; wanting to break free from bourgeois morality, the libertarian revolt of 68 years leads only freedom from morality and etiquette, bases of living together. Whoever had however said France "deserves our hatred," defends today. Against all right-thinking to relativistic moraline he places himself in the line of Levi-Strauss (that of race and culture, not that of race and history), which reaffirms the right of the peoples of Europe and in French particular. Finkielkraut, former libertarian thinker of the extreme left actant the failed ideas of his youth, to switch to some neo-reac form. Read with a critical eye
