Abstract

In this review, we deal with the book "Suffering in France", by Cristophe Déjours. Although it has not become a classic in philosophy, we justify the interest in this work for two reasons: 1) it proposes a cross between medical sciences and humanities, more specifically between the psi sciences and sociology, thus introducing in a field of interdisciplinary research. It presents the issue of unemployment from a new angle: the data collection of patients treated by Déjours, showing the psychic impact of the issue of work; 2) its relevance to research in philosophy, since it promotes a reinterpretation of the concept of "banalization of evil" of Hanna Arendt, based on the contemporary experience of neoliberalism, as well as presenting popular mobilization and feminist change as two possible routes to alleviate the psychic suffering produced by working conditions today.
