What is « the need to believe » worth ? Is it rational to hold beliefs that we cannot justify ? Is the mere fact  that religious beliefs are believed a reason to respect them ? There is more discussions about faith and reason, than the usual oversimplifications and equivocations. In order to grasp the importance and the main themes of these debates, Jacques Bouveresse engages very with Nietzsche, Renan, James, Russell, Freud and some others.
