«Éloge de la faiblesse» is the philosophical essay by Alexandre Jollien, published by Marabout in paperback (95 pages, in French).
The author, who has lived with a motor disability since birth, imagines a dialogue with Socrates to explore philosophy as an art of living. Throughout the conversation, he shows how weakness and vulnerability can become a path to freedom and joy, and encourages readers not to let themselves be defined by the gaze of others. A reflection on difference, acceptance and the construction of one's own singularity.
Work originally published in 1999; this Marabout edition is from 2011. It received the Prix Montyon from the Académie française in 2000.
A work of practical philosophy and personal development, for readers interested in self-improvement, vulnerability and self-construction.
Swiss writer and philosopher
