L'économie est une mythologie qui désenchante le monde : plus que jamais "lugubre", elle pollue le débat public de ses fausses certitudes et empoisonne l'esprit démocratique. Les mythes économiques contemporains ont pour fonction principale de détourner l'attention des citoyens des véritables enjeux dont ils devraient se soucier et débattre. Nos mythologies économiques sont des mystifications politiques.

Since Darwin's day, we've been told that sexual monogamy comes naturally to our species. Mainstream science - as well as religious and cultural institutions - has maintained that men and women evolved in families in which a man's possessions and protection were exchanged for a woman's fertility and fidelity. But this narrative is collapsing....

Humans are a puzzling species. On the one hand, we struggle to survive on our own in the wild, often failing to overcome even basic challenges, like obtaining food, building shelters, or avoiding predators. On the other hand, human groups have produced ingenious technologies, sophisticated languages, and complex institutions that have permitted us to successfully expand into a vast range of diverse environments. What has enabled us to dominate the globe, more than any other species, while remaining virtually helpless as lone individuals?

Au début du 17ème siècle, Galilée est le fondateur emblématique de la science moderne. Par ses observations astronomiques, il nous fait passer du monde clos et géocentrique hérité de l'Antiquité à l'univers pluri-centrique et infini d'aujourd'hui. C'est aussi le premier physicien véritablement expérimentateur, qui posera les bases de la mécanique moderne et de la théorie de la résistance des matériaux. Bien avant Einstein, il avancera l'idée de la relativité du mouvement. Jean-Marc Lévy Leblond, physicien et essayiste, raconte ici la vie et l'œuvre scientifique révolutionnaire d'un homme profondément nourri par la culture artistique.
