A new generation of intellectuals, often recognized as the «nouvelle sensibilité», appeared in Québec over the last few years. This new group criticises unreservedly the disembodiment of the Quebec society vis-à-vis their French Canadian and humanist heritage.

To do this, we offer an analysis of the principal organ of the «nouvelle sensibilité», the journal of ideas Argument. Finally, to conclude this article, the authors defend the importance of maintaining an open and constructive dialogue with these thinkers of modern Quebec.
