«Ce virus qui rend fou» is the philosophical essay by Bernard-Henri Lévy, published by Grasset (103 pages, in French).
Taking the global lockdown of 2020 as his starting point, the philosopher analyses the discourses unleashed by the pandemic: media obsession, apocalyptic prophecies and promises of a «world after». He warns of two dangers: authoritarian regimes that exploit the health emergency and declinism that despises the best of Western civilisation.
First published in 2020, in paperback; royalties go to the ADELC association.
Appeals to readers of philosophy, politics and social analysis, as well as to those who follow the work of Bernard-Henri Lévy.
Bernard-Henri Georges Lévy is a French public intellectual. Often referred to in France simply as BHL, he was one of the leaders of the "Nouveaux Philosophes" movement in 1976. His opinions, political activism, and publications have also been the subject of several controversies over the years.
