In 1960, when François Fejtö wrote a heretical  essay entitled God and His Jew, he was already planning to work on the devil. More than 40 years later, this historian and journalist who has lived through practically the entire 20th century offers us the result of his reflection about the incarnation of evil. What is this figure’s relationship with God? And above all, what use have humanity and its great institutions, churches, powers, ideologies etc. made of him?
Revisiting history, questioning current events, covering theology as well as philosophy from the perspective of a free thinker, independent of any ideology, François Fejtö examines the dialectics of good and evil to place humanity firmly before both its contingency and its responsibility. When faced with the human tragedy, he asserts, it behooves us to be both lucid and hopeful.
At the age of 95, François Fejtö, a heretical Catholic Jew (!), invites us to think the world and the future freely.
