Sketch on authority or a definition of progressive.
Following the article, Why this hatred of authority?, I received many reactions. The first consisted of confusing, or asking me not to confuse, power and authority. Here, we can see one thing: many people on social networks still agree with this distinction. It even marks for them Continue reading

The Chief's Sacrifice
"Who is like God?" (1), the book by Army Corps General Pierre Gillet, exhaustively inventories the qualities of a leader and sets out the Christian virtues necessary for command. What could pass for an insider's book, a new TTA (1), becomes, under the delicate and virile pen of Pierre Gillet, former Army Corps Commander Continue reading

Antigone, rebellious and intimate (7/7. Love)
7th and final part: Love Antigone's desire is familial; she does not want to leave her brother unburied; Creon, on the other hand, wants to assert himself as king and demonstrate his power.

Splitting according to Creon
Creon divides his interlocutors into two groups: those who are with him and those who are against him. He no longer negotiates and threatens those who oppose him. Force controls him, when force should only ever be used to protect, and this is always the case with those who give themselves body and soul to Continue reading

What is it to be above ground?
The most illuminating example of human nature is found in the New Testament when Peter and Jesus Christ are talking together and Peter insists that his master believe his devotion is completely sincere. Thus, Jesus tells him that before the rooster crows, he will have denied him three times. The first place Continue reading

Antigone, rebellious and intimate (6/7. The vocation)
What a fuss about identity! The word appears neither in Greek epic nor in tragedy. Identity in Antigone's time was based on lineage and belonging to a city. Identity was imbued with roots. Family and city gathered under a virtual banner everything that others needed to know about themselves. Continue reading

Based on the values
Authority has lost its nobility along with humility. Authority has become a synonym for implacable order, thoughtless force, and tyranny. What an inversion of values! Whereas, according to Antigone, authority prevented tyranny! The modern era has this impression of authority because it has been trampled underfoot by Continue reading

Afterword (by Georges Mathieu)
If the "misfortunes of France are exemplary," it will take us thirty years to recover from the last one: that of the laxity of the right combined with the sectarianism of the left. For nearly half a century, we have been suffering the terrorism of an intelligentsia successively gangrened by Marxism, Leninism, Maoism, socialism, social democracy, without Continue reading

Antigone, rebellious and intimate (3/7. Destiny)
Part 3: Destiny Man descends from the tree. Man, like the tree, is defined by his roots as well as by his fruits. Man, like the tree, depends on external and internal elements to reach maturity. Man resembles this trunk sculpted by trials leaning on its roots and bearing fruits more or less Continue reading

Part 2: The Funeral — "My dearest Ismene. I came this morning to tell you that I took care of everything. I used the same funeral directors for our two brothers. I couldn't choose, and since our brothers didn't leave any last wishes, I took matters into my own hands to Continue reading

News from Louis-René des Forêts
On this rainy Sunday, rereading the notes taken in the margins of the marvelous Ostinato, this nugget among nuggets: Let us not veil our faces with our hands. There is no longer any place to venerate, no act of glory or intelligence to absolve a world seduced by force spreading its filth everywhere, and which Continue reading

News from Hyppolite Taine
He is a pedant, the pedant is the hollow and inflated mind which because it is full of words believes itself to be full of ideas, enjoys its sentences and deceives itself to rule others. He is a hypocrite who believes himself to be sincere, a Cain who takes himself for Abel. In this shrinking brain, given over to abstraction, and Continue reading
