The world is out of joint, so much so that disobeying should be an
urgent act for everyone. In this provocative essay, Frederic Gros
explores the roots of political obedience, social conformity,
economic subjection, respect for authorities, constitutional
consensus. Examining the various styles of obedience provides tools
to study, invent and induce new forms of civic disobedience and
lyrical protest. Nothing can be taken for granted: neither supposed
certainties nor social conventions, economic injustice or moral
conviction. Thinking philosophically requires us to never accept
truths and generalities that seem obvious-it restores a sense of
political responsibility. At a time when the decisions of experts
are presented as the result of icy statistics and anonymous
calculations, disobeying becomes an assertion of humanity. To
philosophise is to disobey. This book is a call for critical
democracy and ethical resistance.
