Myriam Revault d’Allonnes likes to relate current problems, challenging not only for political philosophers like herself, but of interest to all citizens. In this regard, she likes to say that her way of analyzing them is from within, going a little against philosophical tradition. Trying to escape media coverage, she is interested in the profound transformation of themes already addressed by this same philosophical tradition, but which have undergone major changes. Thinking about concepts such as truth, lucidity, democracy requires, according to this perspective, thinking about phenomena such as post-truth or fake news or the proliferation of lies. That’s what he does in the book The Truth is Fragile (editions 70, 2020), a work that integrates the vast production of this Frenchwoman, born in the Loire Valley, where she was born in 1942.
