«Mes mille et une nuits: la maladie comme drame et comme comédie» is Ruwen Ogien's essay in paperback (Albin Michel, 253 pp., in French).
Ruwen Ogien examines with humour and lucidity the journey of the person who falls ill, as well as the usual metaphors for talking about illness, forgetting it or turning it into something else. He rejects «dolorisme»: he finds no virtue in suffering, nor does he believe that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger or that resilience is a panacea.
Published in 2017, it received the Prix spécial Psychologies 2017 and includes bibliographical references (pp. 241-251).
For those seeking a critical and approachable philosophical reflection on illness, pain and resilience.
Ruwen Ogien was a contemporary French philosopher. He was a researcher at the French National Centre for Scientific Research. He focused on moral philosophy and the philosophy of social science. He was the brother of Albert Ogien a sociologist.
