The risk of "wasting" a crucial opportunity given by recent emergencies (i.e. health emergency, economic emergency, etc.) invokes an essential human resource: the reason and its work. On one hand, the first way to miss this opportunity consists of sacrificing human reason after its exaltation (for example, rationalism). On the other hand, the use of this fundamental opportunity implies also a re-think of a fragile reason in light of human relationship; this course aims to start a theoretical work from this particular perspective. Therefore, the course aims to philosophically reconsider the bond between human relation and work of reason; this connection will guide the reading and interpretation of books. C. Péguy offers useful material for this purpose. Indeed, this author gives a new interpretation of the work of reason after Modern philosophy (in particular cartesian thought). Péguy can rethink reason from the forms of its negation (nihilism, sentimentality, pragmatism, spiritualism, positivism, scepticism).
In conclusion, the guiding question of this philosophical work is as follows: "a prosperous" world, after reason, without reason "?
