«La sagesse de l'amour» is the philosophical essay by Alain Finkielkraut, published by Gallimard in paperback (200 pages, in French).
Alain Finkielkraut starts from a word that in many languages means both giving and taking, charity and greed, and asks whether modern morality reduces disinterestedness to a form of self-interest. Drawing on Emmanuel Levinas and the literature of Flaubert, James and Proust, he defends love of one's neighbor as the key to understanding the relationship with the other.
«La sagesse de l'amour» belongs to Gallimard's Folio Essais collection and won the Prix européen de l’essai Charles Veillon in 1984.
For readers of contemporary philosophy and French essays, with a particular interest in the relationship with the other and in Levinas's thought.
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.
