“I work for the 21st century.” A good reason to endow it again with this short initiation which I had been asked to do in the last century. At that time, we were in those post-war years in which, beyond the imprescriptible disasters and crimes, everyone was rebuilding their health and morale as best they could and trying to restore some sense to humanity. Like everyone else, I was looking for answers, solutions, in short, an absolute which – pardon the modesty of it –could be translated into words. There was no shortage of words. The words in vogue were existentialism, Marxism, personalism, and other words ending in ism. Words and more words, but no absolute – at least, that was my impression, or how I imagined it. That is, until the day when one of Jankélévitch’s books fell into my hands. That was in 1949: it was the first edition of Traité des vertus. And at the risk of exaggerating the comparison a little too much, I would say that what happened to me was similar to what happened to Saint Augustine, when he was loaned some texts by Plotinus and Porphyry: my perception of things radically changed. As the years passed, I would not rest until I had read the work in its entirety. Yet at the time, how could I have imagined that, through the years, eleven of those volumes would be gifted to me by their author, inscribed with a personal note from him?
