We are going through a crisis of meaning. According to Julie De Funès, a french philosopher, there are two important reasons for this. On the one hand, transcendences have collapsed. What she means by transcendences are the high authorities that guided existence. In France, faith is not a state affair but a personal matter. On the other hand, we do not expect Politics to guide our existence either.
Therefore, an individual must find the meaning of his life alone.
