Books by Henri Atlan

Suitable for those who seek to clarify the joint stakes and shared import of philosophy and science for questions of life and the living, this book offers a philosophical argumentation that is as hostile to scientism as it is attentive to biology's conceptual and experimental rigor.

This first volume of biophysicist and philosopher Henri Atlan's masterpiece takes up the question of the techniques and sciences linked to the fabrication of living beings while following unexpected paths of religion and philosophy through the Talmud, Spinoza, the Kabbalah, Leibnitz, and more.

This book explores the stakes of the uses and abuses of money, language, and technical objects.
