Bernard-Henri Lévy

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani mainly brings up Bernard-Henri Lévy as a counter-model. He makes him the type of the official philosopher, the adviser to princes, and contrasts him with Rousseau, who refuses that role12. He even compares Plato in Sicily to him, as a thinker in the service of power3. He places him among the new philosophers, together with Glucksmann, who embody the ideological counter-revolution, and he calls them "media clowns"45. He returns several times to the intervention in Libya: he links him with Sarkozy and sees him at times as a decision-maker, at times as a mere communication tool67. He also criticises him for accusing of antisemitism those who attack capital, for moralising, and for having the same targets as NATO. In his view, Lévy's "green fascism" ignores material progress8. He recalls that Lévy was present at his first meeting with Clouscard, and says he refuses to put him on trial as an individual.
