Abstract

For our contemporaries, daily life is no longer the peaceful world of small concerns and minor questions. Everything becomes a problem when one can no longer explain the sense of life by reference to great ideological institutions (for example, the republican system of education) or great religious institutions. This is why it is more and more difficult to separate “intellectuals” who, alone, would have the capacity to put into question the foundations, from the “others” who would simply take the world as it comes. All live in the same universe, crossed by radical questions that are posed the moment one undertakes the least action—be it as an educator, doctor, parent or activist
