Manuscript forthcoming
The Book
La Sageocratie
Towards a society founded on consciousness, syntony and living systems
A philosophical and political essay, written in the sober and rigorous register of the great tradition of the social transformation essay — without esoteric vocabulary, without activist shortcuts, without concessions to easy answers. A rigorous progression from diagnosis to foundations, from mechanism to vision.
The book as object
Front and back covers — international edition.
“This book does not come to precede you. It comes to meet you.”
The French manuscript is now finalised. A process is under way to propose the book’s preface to an author whose work is one of the major references of the sageocratic project. Should it succeed, it will open the way to the book’s wide international distribution: international publishers will then be approached and translations carried out progressively, in line with publishing agreements.
Why this book exists
A word from an author who was not meant to write it
This book should not exist. It was written by a man with no calling to write — active in building and character real estate, then a designer of digital projects, then a researcher into consciousness, and an author almost in spite of himself.
The idea was born in 2004. Not a book — a website, a platform: what would make Sageocracy possible. The will was there; the means were not. It would take twenty-two years to gather them. And when the site could finally be built, in 2025, the book imposed itself — almost in spite of its author.
What this work carries today is not one more theory. It is what resists simplification — what, after two decades of observing the world and inner exploration, asks to be named.
About the work
What the book develops
The diagnosis
Why do current systems — political, economic, social — produce the results they produce despite successive reforms? The answer developed here is not one of malevolence, but of a structural limitation: these systems were designed for conditions that no longer correspond to the world as it is today, and their fundamental mechanisms produce results increasingly distant from what human societies genuinely need.
The foundations
The six principles of Sageocracy developed in full philosophical and practical depth — defined with rigour, grounded in concrete situations, to show that these are not abstract ideals but operational criteria. Syntony receives a particularly thorough treatment: applied to social organisation, it becomes a criterion of coherence of remarkable precision.
The protocol
The mechanism of the transition described with the precision of a protocol — not as a general aspiration, but as a sequence of verifiable steps. The role of registration, the logic of the global count, the democratic threshold, the activation of the World Map, the convergence dynamic between the civic movement and existing institutions.
The Reliances
The Reliances in their complete architecture — founding principles, recognition mechanisms, implications for the economy and governance. How they create the conditions for an economy in which what current systems cannot recognise — care, transmission, the preservation of living systems — finally finds its place within a coherent value system.
The vision
The philosophical and, for those open to it, spiritual dimension of the project — without esoteric vocabulary, with the same rigour as the rest of the work. What it means to live Sageocracy in the world as it is today — before the transition, in a period of change, within institutions that have not yet integrated its principles.
Editorial positioning
Why this book now
The great essays of social transformation share the characteristic of having appeared at the precise moment when the society they described was already changing — when enough people had already begun to perceive what the work was about to name.
La Sageocratie is written in that spirit. The work does not seek to convince people who have perceived nothing of what it addresses. It seeks to offer a rigorous framework to those who have already sensed that the current framework is no longer sufficient — and who were looking for the precise words to name it, and a concrete mechanism through which to act accordingly.
The English translation addresses the same readership as the major essays that have shaped intellectual and political debate over the last two decades — those of David Graeber, Kate Raworth or Charles Eisenstein. Not to compare itself to them, but because the book joins the same conversation: it speaks to readers who think rigorously, read demanding works, and seek in ideas not comfort but tools.
Perception precedes power.
International distribution
- French version finalised
- Translations planned in several languages to reach the widest possible readership
- Awaiting response regarding the preface — then submission to publishers
A definitive preface
Before its submission to publishers, the work is currently being presented to a world-renowned author — whose work constitutes one of the deep references of the Sageocratic project — with a proposal that they write the preface. A contribution of this kind would represent a decisive lever for the book’s international reach.
