«Ce que nous voile le voile» (La République et le sacré) is Régis Debray's essay, published by Gallimard in 2004, in paperback (54 pages, in French).
Régis Debray examines the use of the Islamic veil in France as a starting point for analyzing the place of religion in the republican public sphere. The essay confronts religious freedom with the principles of secularism and civil equality, and reflects on French identity, integration and the contemporary meaning of the sacred.
For readers of political and philosophical essays interested in French secularism and the relationship between religion and the public sphere.
Jules Régis Debray is a French philosopher, journalist, former government official and academic. He is known for his theorization of mediology, a critical theory of the long-term transmission of cultural meaning in human society, and for associating with Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara in Bolivia in 1967 and advancing Salvador Allende's presidency in Chile in the early 1970s. He returned to France in 1973 and later held various official posts in the French government.
