The lecture I've proposed extends, in a way, the spirit and intentions behind last year's lecture, " How to inherit, how to bequeath ".
If I suggest the " eulogy of description " - an effort and a difficult gamble for someone who likes ellipsis and concision - it's because we no longer know how to inherit because we no longer have the words to describe, to recognize what has been bestowed upon us. Reversing the Pascalian principle, we love the catch more than the hunt, because everything that is preparation, waiting, everything that precedes an action is eliminated by the haste of the seizure.
We are quick to seize something because we no longer know how to approach the object with words, how to describe it in words, how to sketch it, how to depict it. The " eulogy of description " will therefore also be the eulogy of restraint, of adequate speech, of perspective, of measure, of the attentive approach to an object, a person, to everything beyond our bodies.
