La déshumanisation civilisée
Marc Grassin - Collection L'histoire à vif
Résumé
--
The development of ethics is said to be the promising sign of a new, responsible humanity. Ethics, the new travelling companion of the contemporary liberal man, seems to be in most cases no more than a means of avoiding the criticism that would oblige us to undertake a profound reassessment of our anthropology. The increased usage, amalgamation and instrumentalisation of ethical notions have emptied ethics of its critical facet. Behind today's seductive image of liberal humanism, open to difference and to otherness, lurks a darker reality: that of human beings keen to attest their civilised ways but who, beyond appearances, have entered into a process of dehumanisation. Isn't the dominant ethic of our times, in most cases, an instrument subject to the commands of a moral liberalisation that is far from liberating? Shouldn't ethics rather be the means of daring imprudence? If ethics implies critique, it must inevitably be slightly radical, but well-meaning towards ourselves and the world we invent.
