God & Man

This book is available in French only.

In this book, there is God and there is Man. For in order to explain God, one must understand Man.

All the more so as what is truly at stake is a breakdown in civilization that extends far beyond religion.

The author diagnoses this breakdown as a failure of humanism: the way Western Man represents himself, his civilization and his history. From this point of view, it is by taking up humanism where it came to a halt in the eighteenth century, and by extending it within a rationalist perspective, that meaning and a future can once again be given to the values of the Enlightenment. And from there, meaning to history itself.

To this end, Adrien Morel introduces the sciences of Man in this book and settles the question of God, before devoting his subsequent works respectively to science, politics and
morality.

For the author, the greatest difficulty is not to explain God, but to make humanists accept the very notion of a human science.

In response to this challenge, and addressing newcomers to the subject, this book is an introductory treatise. From Marx to Lacan, Freud and Saussure, the reader is taken by the hand and led on a journey: from the prehistoric cult of mother goddesses to the analysis of French vowels, via the bold explanation of the relationship between football and God, until the moment when everything logically falls into place.

Thus, together, believers and atheists alike, by sharing a morality, a spirituality and a
common conception of humanity, we set civilization back in motion for the millennium now beginning, through the advent of a new and forthcoming Renaissance.
