The Interior Life, a Path of Freedom
by Marcel Légaut
Emeritus Professor of Rennes University, Faculty of Sciences
The subject of this talk may lead me to repeat what I have already said in my books and
elsewhere. I am changing the title and the wrapping, but, in the last analysis, I have but
one thing to say. And I will say it in the homely atmosphere of a discussion, a sharing of
views.
My title, then, is "the interior life", or rather "interiority";
"a path of freedom", or better still "the path of our
freedom".
I shall not begin by defining the word "interiority", for the whole of my talk
will be an attempt to unfold its meaning.
Freedom, as you know, is an infinitely delicate word, for people may have little to say
about interiority, but freedom is a much discussed topic. And like so many commodities
that are affected by inflation, it easily loses its value. So I must very clearly define
my concept of freedom.
