«De la conversation» is the philosophical essay by Theodore Zeldin, published by Fayard in hardback (136 pages, in French).
The author reflects on conversation as an essential practice of social life: far from being a simple exchange of words, talking with others allows us to understand ourselves, open up to other ideas and transform our own existence. The subtitle «Comment parler peut changer votre vie» condenses this thesis: learning to converse is a way to change personal life and coexistence.
First edition published by Fayard on 24 August 1999. Subtitle on cover: «Comment parler peut changer votre vie». Category: Philosophy.
Work aimed at philosophy readers and those who want to understand conversation as a tool for personal and social growth.
