particulièrement attentif, humaniste et réputé pour ses grandes capacités de vulgarisation. En marge du discours des "Lucides" et des tensions relatives aux accommodements raisonnables, ce livre de Jean-Marc Piotte apporte un véritable vent de fraîcheur, non seulement par la profondeur et la simplicité de son propos, mais aussi par la sérénité et l'humanité de son regard, qui tient l'humain pour sa première préoccupation. Dans un ton d'essayiste qui rappelle un peu le style de Pierre Bourgault (mais sans son côté acerbe), Jean-Marc Piotte en appelle autant à notre bonté qu'à notre intelligence pour créer une société plus juste et plus saine. Enfin, Un certain espoir fait la jonction entre les grands principes politico-éthiques, la vie "platement" quotidienne des citoyens et les enjeux publics actuels, notamment les valeurs sociales, les alternatives au marché capitaliste et le rôle de l'État dans l'épanouissement de la société". -- 4e de couvJe suis né avec du sable dans les yeux: document
