The Defeat of Thought is an essay by French philosopher Alain Finkielkraut, published in 1987. In this book, Finkielkraut reflects on the crisis of modern culture and the loss of traditional values. He argues that culture has become a consumer product, and that people are more interested in entertainment than in critical thinking. The author argues that this cultural decline has led to a loss of meaning and purpose in modern life.
Alain Luc Finkielkraut is a French essayist, radio producer, and public intellectual. Since 1986, he has been the host of Répliques, a talk show broadcast weekly on France Culture. He was elected a Fellow of the Académie Française in 2014.
