We are all masters and slaves of each other ! - E-book - ePub

Our life is the work of a malicious demiurge that organizes the life of individuals around a single feeling: that of injustice. We are all aware of how much our life is a deprivation of freedom and a constant injustice: the boss who chooses his working hours and who on top of that earns better than us, the one in the big schools for whom all his life will be marked with freedom only by the name of this one on his curriculum vitae, the one who can travel when he wants and where he wants.
On the other hand, when it comes to thinking about our place in this world, which is as unequal and unjust as the aggregation of our personal feelings, it is a completely different spectacle that is offered to us: that of blindness. In this speech, Frédéric Cohen invites us to rethink our social relations with the objective of living happier by realizing that we are both masters and slaves of our neighbor.
