Book synopsis

In this book, Clément Rosset talks openly with Santiago Espinosa on various subjects. In a first part, consisting of five discussions, Rosset relates, with humour, the three events in his life which had the greatest impact on him and led him to pursue philosophical inquiry. This involved talking about his childhood, his love of music and literature, his years as a student at École normale supérieure, and later at Université de Nice. He recalls his favourite authors, his relations with the Académie and with philosophers who were his contemporaries, and whom, on occasion, he befriended (Cioran, Deleuze, Jankélévitch, Descombes).In a second part, in view of a number of misinterpretations made by commentators about the author, two discussions strive to clarify and expand upon the concept at the heart of his philosophy: the double and the real.This, then, is both a biographical book in which Rosset talks about himself, and a basic work in which readers will discover either a conceptual supplement to books they have already read, or an introduction and invitation to read them.Clément Rosset taught Philosophy from 1967 to 1998 at Faculté de Nice. His main works include: La Force majeure (Éditions de minuit, 1983) and Le Réel et son double, essai sur l’illusion (Gallimard, 1976). His most recently published book is Faits divers (PUF, 2013).
