In this essay, Thierry de Duve leaves the aesthetics and history of the art to approach, under the religious prism, two anthropological questions that the mutation of the symbolic order in progress makes pressing: the difference of the sexes and the future of the politics of emancipation.
Thierry de Duve (born 1944 in Saint-Trond, Belgium) is an art historian, philosopher and curator. He has taught art history and aesthetics at the University of Lille III, and has been a visiting professor at the Sorbonne, MIT and Johns Hopkins University.
