«Allons aux faits: Croyances historiques, réalités religieuses» is the essay by Régis Debray, published by Gallimard in paperback (254 pages).
Debray examines the relationship between history and religion and how both shape our perception of reality. He argues that history, far from revealing the real, can lull us with deceptive beliefs, while religion, seen as superstition, holds uncomfortable truths. An essay that invites us to invert habitual perspectives and distrust inherited words.
