« Praise of weakness traces an inner route, a kind of conversion to philosophy. The author, handicapped by birth, imagines receiving a visit from Socrates in person. From then on, an exchange ensues where from near to near emerge - tools to learn to progress in joy, to keep the course in the heart of the torments and not to be determined by the gaze of the other. Philosophy here is an art of living, a way to abandon prejudices in order to discover oneself and build one's uniqueness. Gradually, a conversion takes place, the weak, the vulnerability, the trial can become fertile places of freedom and joy. »
