The Worship of Feelings

"The Cult of Emotion" (Le Culte de l'émotion) by philosopher Michel Lacroix offers an in-depth sociological and psychological study of modern human behavior. The book argues that contemporary societies have shifted from materialism to a "cult of emotion," where individuals constantly chase fleeting excitement and psychological shocks through media and entertainment to fill an existential void. Lacroix analyzes how this phenomenon erodes genuine social bonds and undermines calm, rational thinking.

Because it provides a precise philosophical and psychological explanation of daily phenomena in the social media era, such as the obsession with sensationalism and emotional emptiness. It helps you reclaim your intellectual and rational balance.

This book is for readers of philosophy and social sciences, individuals interested in the psychological analysis of modern human behavior, and anyone looking to understand the impact of media and consumer culture on our minds.
