"Philosopher au fil des saisons", by Philippe Granarolo
In his new book, the author comments on 70 quotes and skilfully sheds light on our present.

The new book by Philippe Granarolo published by Éditions Trédaniel has just been released. Like good news, the year 2025 thus starts with a remarkable philosophical work, "Philosopher au fil des saisons, 70 citations commentées pour éclairer notre présent". In this latest book, the philosopher from Var offers a work for the general public, designed to fuel our reflections throughout the year.
With its evocative subtitle, this book deciphers, month after month, analyses by philosophers and intellectuals, both classic and contemporary, in perfect resonance with the key moments of the calendar year. In short, "Philosopher au fil des saisons" transcends a simple collection of quotes. Indeed, each excerpt is enriched with commentaries deciphering the paradoxes and complexities of our societies.

Through timeless themes and contemporary debates – ecology, women's rights, barbarism, education, equality, violence, fake news, social networks, Artificial Intelligence, authority, communitarianism, Islamism, individualism, reading, wokism, transhumanism, etc. – each page invites meditation, paced by the seasons and the key events of the year. As Philippe Granarolo explains: "We are invited to dive into a universe where the words of great thinkers commented on by the author illuminate the darkness of our time and open up paths that are often obscured by the complexity and contradictions of modern life."
Thus, "Philosopher au fil des saisons" should find a special place in the hearts and minds of its readers, accompanying them from January to December with a soothing and renewed perspective on the world. This work is in no danger of sinking into oblivion at the bottom of a drawer!
