This is what shows the beautiful documentary Yohan Laffort released in theaters as of this October. ---- Far from the high schools, where he taught for years, Alain Guyard travels the roads of the region (he lives in the Gard) and beyond, to go take his questions to different audiences and in unusual places: under a circus tent at the foot of Mont Ventoux, at the bottom of the Demoiselles cave (Hérault), a psychiatric hospital Uzes (Gard), in a Belgian jail or with apprentice nursery or young farmers ... ---- Because for Alain Guyard, out of school does not mean creating philo-cafes for people already heavily featuring cultural capital nor do personal development courses to executives at the edge of a nervous breakdown.

lt has come to our attention that various organizations have been invited to a conference ostensibly about "rebuilding the IWA" that is to be held in November in Spain.

Moral or legal norms arising from the superiority of any of its parts would be inevitable, necessary. It thus denies that they are the fruit of an authoritarian construction. The Spinoza's idea ...
