«La seule exactitude» is the philosophical essay by Alain Finkielkraut, published by Folio in paperback format (336 pages, in French).
Finkielkraut questions the comparison between the present and the 1930s: if the past is used to read what is happening, the unsettling novelty of the era is hidden. Instead of repeating historical patterns, he proposes exercising exactitude, understood as a priority task of thought and as an existential and intellectual challenge to face the unexpected.
Expanded edition of 2016; the work was originally published in 2015. The cover reproduces a demonstration with a balloon bearing the slogans «Je suis Charlie, flic, juif» and «La République».
For readers of philosophy and French political current affairs, interested in the debate on identity, secularism and historical memory.
