Quoi de neuf? – Le Moyen-Age
What’s new? - The Middle Age

Summary/Abstract: I wish to propose here some remarks on the notion of modernity, and to suggest that the Middle Ages is no less modern than the times of the same name, but that it is otherwise. My remarks can thus be read as a counterpoint to the debate that extends from Hegel to the great book of H. Blumenberg, La Légitimité des Temps modernes, and as a contribution to the debates of the late twentieth century on humanism, progress and modernity.
