ABSTRACT
It’s obvious that we have the duty to think, to question, but there is a danger of giving into a certain temptation to prophecy-of believing that one has all the answers. An Epicurean or a Stoic ethics is worth more than all the prophetic moralities together. I completely disagree with provisional moralities of the Cartesian sort, because a provisional morality can exist only in a theological world in which truth is something other than what we do; and because beneath a provisional morality always lies an absolute morality.
