"The unfortunate identity" or repented of a philosopher generation 68.

This book is capital.
Its author, Alain Finkielkraut has long was considered by some as part of the system: the elitist caste, who explains that for two generations we must think; what is correct and what is not ballast
But with his latest book he totally messed up the deal.
This is the first time, to my knowledge, quun French linteligencia member states loud and clear: we were wrong!
And this seems to me essential ... because so rare!

Alain Finkielkraut made the sad fact that ideology sixty-huitarde post which he claims that came out victorious and barricades led us straight to the situation that we face today are how to get us there ??

Yes this book is nostalgic; yes it is not particularly optimistic (Coue method has never solved anything), but this book was written with sincerity and real these days, it becomes rare.

Alain Finkielkraut gives us the example. To again consider better days, we must first learn to learn from the past.
Many of his (ex) colleagues and (ex) friend intellectuals, politicians and the media Nont not at all appreciated his analysis is nevertheless clear.
His approach disturbs the highest place and this is by reading this book you will understand why.
