User:José Fontaine

My (real) name is José Fontaine (born in 1946 in the Borinage, one of the most emblematic region of Wallonia) and I have a PhD in Philosophy (Université catholique de Louvain, 1975: Le Mal chez Rousseau et Kant), partly published I am also the director of the Walloon review TOUDI (or here TOUDI), which is an autonomist review about Wallonia, Europa, the Regions and about the Belgian national issue with a leftwing perspective.

Some contributors of TOUDI :
 * Jean-Marie Klinkenberg, Jean Louvet, Jacques Dubois, Léopold Genicot, Philippe van Parijs, Marc Quaghebeur, Jean-Marc Ferry, Jürgen Habermas, Robèrt Lafont, Yves Lacoste, Alain Lipietz, Jean-Maurice Dehousse

An article I wrote in English (with much help!), about the Walloon culture, and the content of it and unfortunately an error in the introduction:it is not ethnic-mythical core but ethic-mythical core (a concept of Paul Ricoeur).The foodnotes are lacking but I would place them here and hopefully on the web-site of TOUDI which must be reniewed.

I am Catholic.

I am reading Emmanuel Levinas for 40 years.

A best-seller (in proportion to Wallonia and Belgium

Honesty on every Wp
I think it is fair to say my point of view but I am also a teacher in high education and I don't write or speak without references and without a fairly way of writing and speaking. I believe so sincerely. There are many problems on wp:fr because of the very complicated situation of Belgium. Many Walloon contributors (me too), had difficulties with political subjects: temporiraly bans, interdiction of edition on some article, etc. I accept this situation and these decisions for the others and for me too.

 * fr:Discussion utilisateur:José Fontaine (shortly translated) : 'You are indefinitely blocked because History is written by the victors.' I may agree with that and that is the reason why I am speaking of my honesty. But this French Administrator of fr.Wp is perhaps not right. It is difficult to say that what I try to write was the POV of a vanquished man, I think that was not POV and I am not vanquished...
