After the long state of dormancy imposed by the Moderns on all “discourse on virtues,” it is obvious that contemporary discourse has once again taken up the issue of courage, not only in the media field – which is always quick to build new temples for one-day heroes – but even more so in certain types of political discourse that urge individuals to either excel, or to be self-responsible. In exploring this re-emergence, which is having the impact of an injunction, this essay aims to reacquaint the reader with the notion of courage by tracking its philosophical history in order to highlight the presuppositions and consequences of this new common call for individual heroism.
