The world to come will be populated by robots, we will intervene on our genes, we will artificially manufacture living things, we will live in societies that will ask us to obey decisions formulated by algorithms that we will not understand. Every day, new techniques, scientific advances, facts and figures of life will be revealed.

The Ministry of the Environment opened its doors last night to two sacred monsters of philosophy: Edgar Morin and Patrick Viveret. In a debate moderated by Gilles Bœuf, professor at the Collège de France, and punctuated by the charm of the young playwright David Wahl, only one question was asked: "Is the man

Corine Pelluchon belongs to this new generation of philosophers who see their thinking in action. Voluntarily subversive, she fights to integrate ecology and the consideration of the animal condition in a new social contract.

The idea of progress is doubly consoling. First, it is a consoling idea because, by underpinning the hope of a future improvement in our living conditions, by making a desirable utopia glimmer far down the timeline, it makes history humanly bearable. It is also consoling in that it gives a

Tant que l’on s’en tient aux équilibres de la nature, on perpétue les dualismes de la modernité (qui opposent l’homme et la nature, l’artificiel et le naturel, la culture et la nature) en se contentant d’en inverser les signes : au lieu de louer en l’homme le conquérant de la nature,

Since that unfortunate Friday 13 November, French society has found itself, brutally, in an episode in its history that will undoubtedly mark a profound change. We are living through a mutation that troubles and questions us. How can we understand it? France can be proud of its intellectuals; many of them have been

On assiste depuis les années 1980 à une spiritualisation croissante de l’écologie. De nombreuses voix s’élèvent pour dépasser le dualisme nature/culture, l’idée d’une nature-objet-ressource et le paradigme dominant de l’anthropocentrisme ; il s’agit de reconnaître une valeur intrinsèque, et donc des droits, à la nature, qui devient désormais sujet.

On the occasion of the publication of his last book (1), Edwy Plenel denounced: "One accepts the other on condition that he is no longer himself".

Ce n’est pas parce que les états des énergies et de la matière manifestent tous, naissance et mort, que la nature (l’essence, la source) des durées (du temps), eut un commencement et qu’elle aura une fin. Bien que mesurable et pouvant être représenté par des symboles, le temps n’a aucune
