Bibliography.
Dany-Robert Dufour is Professor of Philosophy and Education at the University of Paris VIII.
"This little four-chapter book is valuable because it engages with
aspects of that theory that are not readily available to an
English-speaking audience. There is a useful range of references to
existing French debates in the book, and the book is a good
contribution to these debates, and so also as a consequence to some
parallel debates in the English-speaking world."
British Journal of Sociology "In this fascinating book, Dany-Robert
Dufour shows the dangers we are facing in a society that promotes
excessive individualism. This book enables us to understand why it
is not a contradiction to feel increasingly dissatisfied in a
society which seemingly offers an abundance of freedom and choice.
In a cunning way, today's consumerist ideology actually thrives on
our dissatisfactions. This book gives us the tools to understand
and fight against it."
Renata Salecl, University of Ljubljana
