ESSAY | PHILOSOPHY

The best way to (re)discover the humor and intelligence of one of the sharpest minds of the twentieth century.

Philosopher and journalist Jean-François Revel (1924 – 2006) was one of the sharpest minds of the second half of the twentieth century.

This A to Z (based on the model of Gilles Deleuze from A to Z, which enabled Deleuze to bring his thinking to the general public), is a ‘digest’ of Revel’s work. The extracts are the best way to (re)discover his humor and witticisms.

Three top experts on Jean-François Revel, including Pierre Boncenne, the author of For Jean-François Revel (Pour Jean-François Revel) have selected the essentials of his work.
