But is a future still possible, when reality was désacralisée, when the threats are increasingly precise, when also we think of being able to create a new humanity? We should not hesitate to pose the thresholds of sacred where our ignorance starts, in order to reserve a space of freedom to us. Without it, our humanity would be likely to disappear, without a future.frajournal article
