«French tradition fosters a distrust of logic».»

In Ce que je veux sauver, Peggy Sastre defends the foundations of universalism against tribalism and relativism. The editorialist at Le Point believes that France is particularly vulnerable to these increasingly powerful trends.

Sitting calmly behind her tea, Peggy Sastre is delighted to be interviewed by a Swiss monthly. This is because her latest book, Ce que je veux sauver, can be read as a defense of liberalism. Criticizing identitarianism, the moralizing excesses of MeToo and the loss of historical reference points, the French journalist and essayist speaks out against an era dominated by emotionalism and censorship. With a doctorate in the philosophy of science, she reminds us that only reason can protect us from obscurantism.
