What happens when a philosopher, armed with good reading, finds herself caught in an abusive—yet ordinary—airport search? The result is a profound meditation on the voluntary servitude that accompanies modernity like its shadow…

Perhaps one day I will say how my opponents were particularly useful to me in their own way, despite the challenges imposed, but today I would like to pay tribute to my ten greatest masters who, thanks to their unexpected help, allowed me to cross a sacred obstacle course.

In line with my reflection on kairos, which concluded on the necessary effort with which to strive towards introspective and in-depth knowledge of oneself, it is now logical that we take on board this maxim as famous as it is misunderstood: "know thyself", Γνῶθι σεαυτόν.

I have never attended more funerals in my life than in the last ten years in Colombia; the reason is not an increased mortality, but the fact that death here, where I live, concerns many people beyond the deceased's loved ones, family and friends.

Here, Pittakos of Mytilene seems to urge us to discern kairos, to learn to know it. It would therefore be, not only a natural gift, an innate talent, a brilliant intuition, but also a quality to be acquired.

In the current turmoil and the various controversies concerning "sex education", "emotional and relational education", the "sexual rights" of children, Dr. Régis Brunod and I wanted to return to the fundamentals of the psychological protection of children. A look back at an encounter, a journey, a refusal to negotiate with perversion, and the identification of multi-faceted manipulations.

Who is Sébastien Castellion? He is a great humanist who leads a poor existence, free from any material ties. He lives from his translations and the lessons he gives. His conscience revolts before the burning of Michel Servetus: he cannot remain silent and accuses Calvin. He then chooses the heroic life, without support, without a party, without a protector, without friends to support him openly. Castellion knows that such an attack condemns him, a helpless and isolated indivi

According to one of the seven sages of Antiquity, Bias of Priene, "Most men are wicked". It is perhaps worth revisiting this maxim today to grasp its full depth... and its warnings!

On the 65th anniversary of his death, it may be useful to take stock of his thinking, to ask ourselves how this famous philosopher and novelist would undoubtedly have understood our times, but above all, what we could take away from his work to fill our humanist bag.

By focusing here on the fate of the children of the Orient, Ariane returns, to bear witness, to her own childhood, imbued with a mixture of exile, abundant cultures, and religious diversity. This article is about returning to the meaning of Christmas to remind us, as it seems far from being a given, that the only viable path for humanity is that of peace. What is the outcome for humanity when it has forgotten its essential dimension?

Recent years have exposed us not only to mass propaganda, but also to its shamelessness: it no longer hides, it asserts itself, it flaunts itself, it claims its own status as information prostitute. Minds that have seen these crude maneuvers, for example, those of the actors we regularly find in crisis situations, have emerged from a first Plato's Cave. But what happens to them afterwards?

With La Licorne (the Unicorn), it is the birth of a new scriptural adventure... But why this strange, fantastic name, which seems to come from a child's imagination? Ariane explains everything to you...

A criticism was recently leveled at Antipresse: we do not propose solutions; our findings are purely descriptive and analytical—and therefore depressing—because we provide neither remedies nor action for readers. I wanted to respond to this remark based on my own reflection and personal experience.

What are "sanitary" masks the mask of? From an idyll with the nebulous "Common Good", this principle of gregarious leveling which is one of the essential driving forces of the totalitarian drift.

The media do not act as transmitters of information, but as places for chatter, including many so-called alternative media, which are beginning to function in a manner identical to the mass media: like the sidewalk across the street, in short, from the official media.

Confusing words with actions is a sign of regression into childhood, specifically into magical thinking. But when this magical thinking becomes the way adults operate, and a collective one at that, we are facing a seriously ill society.

When periods become totalitarian, the truth is mostly present in what is not named. We must always question what is being shown to us in an obvious way and what is being hidden from us.

Ariane Bilheran spoke as an expert to the Reiner Fuellmich investigation committee, during session number 78, on November 13, 2021, of the Corona Investigative Committee.

Before denouncing totalitarianism in general, have we made sure that it does not reside within ourselves? To find out, we must pay attention to certain processes that take place within groups as well as within individuals. Here is a first glimpse.

Arcadia was a mountainous region of Greece located in the center of the Peloponnese Peninsula, bordered to the east by the Aegean Sea. It was named after Arcas, a mythological king. The Arcadians were considered the first inhabitants of the region. For bucolic Latin and Hellenic poetry, Arcadia represented the golden age, the ideal country. Arcadia is notably mentioned by Diotima the priestess in Plato's Symposium.
