Ounces of Philosophy in a World of Ads
"That's the game my dear Lucette!"
(What is happiness?)
"Beef, the taste of being together."
(What is religion?)
"Because you're worth it."
(Who am I?)
The "creators" of ads seem to be teaching us to live through the great "concepts" of philosophy, such as happiness, freedom, nature, the self or religion. But how many ounces of philosophy are there in this world of ads? That's the question this book asks, without forgetting to include a dose of humor in its ingredients.
Born in Rouen in 1974, Gilles Vervisch is an associate professor of philosophy, a high school teacher and a radio host. He is the author of Comment ai-je pu croire au Père Noël? (2009), De la tête aux pieds (2010), and Tais-toi et double! (2011).
