English summary: In justifying our interest in today's youth, it is not enough to say that they are the nation's future. For in doing so, we are turning them into a mere tool for shaping the future - we are exploiting them, granting them but a secondary importance - we are implying that only the future matters, thereby vowing them to extinction. Our concern for young people must be timely and impartial. It must address their trials and problems, their inherent value and not their obligations towards tomorrow's society. What is needed is to genuinely take action on behalf of young people themselves.
The real first step of any pro-youth action is to promote clear awareness of the very characteristics which form the essence of youth. We must therefore thoroughly explore its characteristics, its significance and its potential.Obviously, this significance, or essence, does not constitute a homogenous, uniform and constant social group. Sociologists are justified in refining their descriptions of groups. There are urban, rural and suburban youths. Some are unemployed, others are not; some have degrees, but many of them do not. Moreover, these young people may, or may not, be the offspring of European, Asian, or African immigrants. Our conception of young people may vary from one historic era to the next.Trying to find their place in society, striving for success in their lives and close relationships, and working to achieve a meaningful life are but a few of the elements shared by all young people. The unchanging essential point is the very fact that they are young. This is the aspect which we will be exploring as we attempt to measure its ramifications. French description: La jeunesse n'est pas seulement l'avenir d'une nation, elle en est la vie presente. Se preoccuper de son sort exige qu'on en connaisse au prealable la nature generale. L'enthousiasme et l'educabilite s'averent alors les bases de sa liberte veritable. Mais le grand Desir de joie est freine ou devie par des obstacles qui certes appellent une reponse politique, mais celle-ci ne saurait etre efficace sans une action prealable sur la conscience de la jeunesse et par cette conscience. Seule la mise en evidence de ses pouvoirs permet qu'on lui presente de nouvelles taches et de nouvelles valeurs. Travailler a un nouveau bonheur c'est a la fois emanciper la jeunesse de ses angoisses et construire une societe civilisee.Robert Misrahi, est ne a Paris en 1926. Fils d'immigres de Turquie, il fait ses etudes a Paris. Professeur emerite de l'Universite de Paris I, il est specialiste de Spinoza. Par ailleurs, il publie de nombreux ouvrages sur la liberte, le bonheur et la joie. Dans son autobiographie - La Nacre et le Rocher (encre marine) - il souligne le fait universel que c'est la liberte et la pensee d'un etre qui commandent sa vie, et non pas le determinisme ou les circonstances.
