Jean-Philippe Ravoux presents a never seen before analysis of the philosophy behind Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince, a tale translated into 160 languages; a story that serves as an allegory for both children and adults alike. In particular, it is a story that teaches us that a return to childhood allows us to discover the essential in life that is invisible to the eye but not the heart. It reminds us the infinite value of each moment and the importance of living in the present. Ravoux argues that Saint-Exupéry wrote The Little Prince as an answer to the existential belief that being passionate in life is pointless since death is certain. He goes on to explain Saint-Exupéry’s real life experiences that inspired the story, as well as the influences of Descartes and Plato’s work on his philosophies. With a brief chapter by chapter analysis, Ravoux offers insight into this classic tale adored around the world.
Jean-Philippe Ravoux is a former Philosophy professor at the University of Aix-Marseille. He is the authors of L’Unité des sciences (Le Pommier, 2000), Schopenhauer, repense et l’inconscient (Pleins feux, 2006), and De Schopenhauer à Freud (Beauchesne, 2007).
