Getting vaccinated? An act of «responsibility»! Just like turning down your thermostat to 19°, stopping flying or cutting down on meat consumption. The rhetoric of the call to responsibility, omnipresent today, conceals a dark side.
LONG FORM INTERVIEW, Jean-David Ponci | Taking vaccine hesitants and anti-sanitary passers-by seriously, trying to answer their questions by countering their positions with arguments, helps us all to identify the flaws in our societies and to rethink together the notions of solidarity and freedom. Interview with doctor and theologian Bertrand Kiefer, editor-in-chief of the Swiss Medical Journal.
LONG FORMAT ARTICLE, Enzo Santacroce | Nietzsche, the multi-faceted philosopher, was as much reclaimed and hijacked by Nazi ideology as by the anarchist forces driving the students of May '68. How can we explain the fact that the thinking of this brilliant mind has been co-opted by both brown and red? The German philosopher's fragmented and deliberately shocking statements certainly contributed to his misunderstanding. However, his lucid critique of a Western society now living without transcendence is highly topical, in that the only acceptable value today is that of health, understood as the annihilation of suffering. Aware of this decline early on, Nietzsche developed a tonic response based on the will expressed by the body, finally rehabilitated in its desiring dimension.

Over the past year, the coronavirus crisis, with all the questions, insecurities and frustrations it has brought, has given rise to a number of conspiracy theories, the scale of which has continued to grow. These simplistic and, in some cases, dangerous theories, as distinct from opinions critical of the management of the crisis or the doubt inherent in science itself, are well and truly present. How can we explain the success of conspiracism in the age of Covid-19? Back to basics with Laurent Cordonier, sociologist and specialist in this phenomenon.
LONG FORMAT ARTICLE, Jonas Follonier and Lauriane Pipoz | Can philosophy help us manage Covid-19? Yes, thanks in particular to John Rawls' theory of justice. This English philosopher proposes a thought experiment aimed at finding the principles of a just society. Applied to the management of the virus, it raises the question of whether the Federal Council's decisions meet the standard of impartiality, which is the only way to protect everyone's interests - including their freedoms.
«The couple throws back in our faces the intrinsic incompatibility that exists between beings and the miracles that can occur there, like flowers emerging from between the stones of a desert.» «The Pink Cloud», condensed by JonasFollonier
