Change the world in 100 sentences? That's the challenge of this book. And we have to admit that, following the author's reasoning to the end, it's hard to see how the world should continue to exist as it is. Written in a clear, direct and accessible style, this book weaves logical links between many fundamental concepts: emotions, reason, action, freedom, needs, happiness, morality, responsibility, education, psychological health, religion, democracy, justice and economics.
In the end, the author paints a surprising but convincing portrait of the human condition, along with a radical but coherent critique of contemporary society, while proposing concrete changes to enable everyone to live better.
A philosophy teacher at Collège Ahuntsic for 13 years, the author teaches the three compulsory courses every year, much to the delight of his students. It's this consistency that has led him to weave his three courses into such a rigorous system. When he's not philosophizing (which is to say, rarely!), he's playing Beatles songs on his guitar, baking Ricardo's bread or watching a classic at the Cinémathèque.
