| Michel François eccentric, erudite and a free spirit
identifies his disappointments and moments of elation with
the metaphysical mayhem of mankind.
In his Life Journal and second novel he acknowledges the absurdity
of life and embraces both its ambiguity and its contradiction.
In order to survive psychologically, he claims, one has to be accountable for one’s
actions and answerable to one’s own conscience.
Expression and thought vary from one thinker to another according
to their reasoning. The Question remains what does Society do with
‘those’ who have lost their conscience?
If we look at the so-called ‘Great Philosophers throughout time,
one can on occasion see a common thread but, each individual’s
experience will relate to his or her personal pathway and its
everyday circumstances.
In his Essay, ‘Revolt against Constraint’© Michel François
takes us into the obscure domain of man’s mind. In an attempt
to comprehend himself and his surroundings, man becomes
a philosopher to live and die within the realm of his
own limitation.
‘you will find me between the burden of Life
and the mysterious halo of Death
in a state of having not existed’
‘vous me trouverez entre le fardeau de la Vie
dans le halo mystérieux de la Mort
et en état de ne pas avoir existé’
