Carnets

Arts & Literature

“With these glimpses, glances, snatches, squints, blinks, wells, catches, roots, tastes, and pinpricks, Kevin Hart delivers the cutting edge of more than fifty years of poetry (1974–2025). A unified existence that, from philosophy to literature and Christianity, reveals a renewed and creative way of seeing the world.”

Finitude’s Wounded Praise

Philosophy

“The voice of Jean-Louis Chrétien resounds unceasingly and still awaits its response. Finitude’s Wounded Praise pays homage to the man who left us too soon and whose work remains at once phenomenological, poetic, and literary, as well as theological. There is a particular way of thinking and speaking in line with Chrétien. Each contribution included here bears witness to it, with the word ‘gratitude’ as the right attitude and key to the understanding.”

The Unthinkable Sacrifice

Philosophy

“‘We were all children before being men.’ This formula of Descartes finds its most perfect expression in the work of Zechariah Mickel. Childhood refers to parenthood, and parenthood to a particular form of love. With all the resources of phenomenology, the unthinkable sacrifice of Isaac here takes on meaning for each of us. Like Abraham on the day of Isaac’s sacrifice, the child’s face definitively deprives us of our pretensions to wanting to control everything. This book is a learning experience, and also a lesson. Because anyone who has exercised parenthood knows that there is sacrifice there, too. Because it is not enough to give. You still have to give yourself.”
