When Anne Dufourmantelle Drowned In A Heroic Attempt To Save Two Children Caught In Rough Seas, Obituaries Around The World Rarely Failed To Recall That She Was The Author Of A Book Entitled In Praise Of Risk, Implying That Her Death Confirmed The Ancient Adage That To Philosophize Is To Learn How To Die. Now Available In English, This Magnificent And Already Muchdiscussed Book Indeed Offers A Trenchant Critique Of The Psychic Work The Modern World Devotes To Avoiding Risk.Yet This Is Not A Book On How To Die But On How To Live. For Dufourmantelle, Risk Entails An Encounter Not With An External Threat To Life But With Something Hidden In Life That Conditions Our Approach To Such Ordinary Risks As Disobedience, Passion, Addiction, Leaving Family, And Solitudekeeping Jargon To A Minimum, Dufourmantelle Weaves Philosophical Reflections Together With Clinical Case Histories. The Everyday Fears, Traumas, And Resistances That Therapy Addresses Brush Up Against Such Broader Concerns As Terrorism, Insurance, Addiction, Artistic Creation, And Political Revolution. Taking Up A Project Than Joins The Work Of Many French Thinkers, Such As Jacques Lacan, Jacques Derrida, Jeanluc Nancy, Hlne Cixous, Giorgio Agamben, And Catherine Malabou, Dufourmantelle Works To Dislodge Western Philosophy, Psychoanalysis, Ethics, And Politics From The Redemptive Logic Of Sacrifice. She Discovers The Kernel Of A Future Beyond Annihilation Where One Might Least Expect To Find It, Hidden In The Unconscious.In An Era Defined By Enhanced Security Measures, Border Walls, Trigger Warnings, And Endless Litigation, Dufourmantelles Masterwork Provides A Muchneeded Celebration Of The Risks That Define What It Means To Live.
