I recommend Antoine very much, met him and discussed several times, besides interviewed him before that a few years ago and it's been an absolute pleasure to count him in the community. His contribution just gets better and better overtime.
In a world increasingly governed by illusions and empty moral grandstanding, Antoine Dresse’s Political Realism is a much-needed wake-up call. His clear-eyed defense of politics as a realm distinct from utopian fantasies reminds us that lasting order is built not on good intentions but on the hard realities of power, loyalty, and historical necessity. Dresse does not simply echo old truths; he sharpens them for a generation that urgently needs to rediscover the courage to see the world as it is, not as we wish it to be.
