In 'The Defeat of Thought,' Alain Finkielkraut presents a passionate plea against contemporary culture, which equates comics with Nabokov novels and advertising slogans with René Char poems. Finkielkraut reflects on the reasons that lead to considering activities lacking thought as cultural, going back to the philosophy of the Age of Enlightenment to analyze the collapse of European ideals. He argues that the ideals of reason and cosmopolitan humanism are giving way to nationalism and an ethnic conception of society, warning about the dangers of nationalist exaltation and exclusion.
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.
