«La politique de l'oxymore» is Bertrand Méheust's political philosophy essay, published by La Découverte in paperback (161 pages, in French).
Méheust shows how political power resorts to the oxymoron —«sustainable development», «moralization of capitalism», «flexicurity»— to unite contradictory terms and present them as reconcilable. This rhetoric hides reality and makes it difficult for citizens to think coherently about the planet's future.
Work in French published in 2009, in the Les Empêcheurs de penser en rond collection of La Découverte; includes bibliographic references.
For readers with command of French interested in political philosophy, ecology, and critical analysis of public discourse.
