«Éloge du blasphème» is the essay by Caroline Fourest, published by LGF (Le Livre de Poche) in paperback (168 pages, in French).
After the attack on Charlie Hebdo, the author examines those who avoided showing solidarity with the publication for fear of giving offense or out of suspicion of Islamophobia. She defends the right to blasphemy and draws the line between French secularism and Anglo-Saxon relativism, and between satire and incitement to hatred.
This edition corresponds to number 34012 in the Documents collection; the work was originally published in 2015.
For readers interested in the debate on freedom of expression, secularism and the political and social reaction to the attack on Charlie Hebdo.
