Race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, sexuality: in the past couple of decades, a great deal of attention has been paid to such collective identities. They clamor for recognition and respect, sometimes at the expense of other things we value. But to what extent do "identities" constrain our freedom, our ability to make an individual life, and to what extent do they enable our individuality? In this beautifully written work, renowned philosopher and African Studies scholar Kwame Anthony Appiah draws on thinkers through the ages and across the globe to explore such questions. 'The Ethics of Identity' takes seriously both the claims of individuality--the task of making a life---and the claims of identity, these large and often abstract social categories through which we define ourselves. What sort of life one should lead is a subject that has preoccupied moral and political thinkers from Aristotle to Mill. Here, Appiah develops an account of ethics, in just this venerable sense--but an account that connects moral obligations with collective allegiances, our individuality with our identities. As he observes, the question 'who' we are has always been linked to the question 'what' we are. Adopting a broadly interdisciplinary perspective, Appiah takes aim at the cliche;s and received ideas amid which talk of identity so often founders. Is "culture" a good? For that matter, does the concept of culture really explain anything? Is diversity of value in itself? Are moral obligations the only kind there are? Has the rhetoric of "human rights" been overstretched? In the end, Appiah's arguments make it harder to think of the world as divided between the West and the Rest between locals and cosmopolitans between Us and Them. The result is a new vision of liberal humanism--one that can accommodate the vagaries and variety that make us human.

Attentats islamistes. Afflux de migrants. Perte d'influence de l'Eglise. Les catholiques français seraient-ils prêts à s'abandonner à l'angoisse fiévreuse de la disparition ? Cette crainte, les réseaux d'extrême droite oeuvrent à la renforcer et à l'exploiter. Les uns s'affichent éternels gardiens d'une chrétienté révolue. Les autres se revendiquent nouveaux croisés du monde blanc. Ils ont en commun de promouvoir une synthèse identitaire, à la fois religieuse et politique. Dénonçant la manipulation que cache ce syndrome mortifère, Erwan Le Morhedec montre ici comment il fracture le corps social, calcifie la France, agresse l'Eglise et subvertit le christianisme. Il met en garde celles et ceux qui seraient tentés par cette impasse. Interrogeant le véritable rapport de la foi et de l'identité, il livre un traité de résistance enfin fondé sur l'espérance.
