«La Tentation de l'innocence» is the philosophical essay by Pascal Bruckner, published by LGF in paperback (283 pages, in French).
Bruckner analyses two contemporary temptations: infantilism and victimisation. The individual, who aspired to autonomy, prefers to retain childish privileges and declare themselves a victim so as not to face the consequences of their actions. This flight from responsibility feeds the culture of complaint and imposture and weakens democracy.
The work received the Prix Médicis for essay in 1995. The paperback edition belongs to the biblio essais collection of Le Livre de Poche.
Readers interested in philosophy, sociology and criticism of contemporary Western society.
